No mask thick enough,
no clothes oversized enough,
no noise loud enough, and
no blanket large enough.
Nothing is numbing enough to cover the sense of inadequacy that stretches from my thoughts through to my words, up to my split-ends and down to the depth of my guts.
Inadequacy is an earthquake shaking from the foundations up, except that the shelter you run from is the shelter you run for.
