Pumpkin gave me a book of 101 poems to keep me sane: it's a compilation entitled Emergency Rations for the Seriously Stressed. I honestly didn't expect it but then it's just like him to be thoughtful, so thank you. I randomly flipped to a poem which I'll quote here before going to bed. It's been a long but fruitful day.

Lots of Things by Eric Fried

Lots of things
can be laughable
such as
kissing my phone
when I have heard
your voice in it.

Not to kiss my phone
when I cannot kiss you
would be
still more laughable
and sadder.
