My Jandek Plague Journal: 4/29/20 "Falling Down Deep"

"The journey is over, I’m falling down deep/I have no more promises to keep/This the feeling that won’t go away/This is the last time of the day." I'd like to think that this is over, that we can draw a curtain across these plague reflections, but that's precisely the feeling that won't go away, the sense of déjà vu, that what was declared has manifested, that we've already done this. Some states are reopening May 1st, and that hasn't happened yet. That's Friday, but the declaration evokes its own despair so visceral and complete that it feels like we already went off that cliff. There's still two days til we see the precipice. Likewise, the rent is due on the first, once again. No one can pay it because no one's getting paid, but that doesn't seem to factor. So how much organizing has there been for a rent strike? Friday is May Day, International Labor Day. Will people get into the holiday spirit? -4/29/20.
