There is no waking from this.

Skip, know what you mean.

Sleepwalking off a cliff... We have still to await the rude awakening phase of the whole trauma.

What was the poet's title -- If It Should Ever Come?

No, he can't have been meaning this...

the week that was in unreal trumpland --- time to batten down the hatches . . .
TC23 July 2016 at 15:53
And the thing about the total unreality of it all was that it kept feeling like it was, you know -- just a small nagging sense of this but just saying -- actually happening

in

the

real

world...

So who knows what to expect of the week to come, or how to "realistically" expect it will or even could be in any important way different.
