DIVIDED

Arranged Table With Chairs and Plates Near Window

If you think it is us vs them,
You are lost.
And everyone you know,
Already dead.
You are not separate from it,
Not even for a moment.
Yet, you are entirely alone,
To sort things out for yourself.
There is no divide,
But what you are choosing,
To make of things that frighten you.
The table here,
Is for everyone.
Can you do that?
Can you prepare the food and sit together,
And invite anyone in.
