one-week anniversary

Identity.

Two nights ago, I found out that it was an 80 year old man who was crushed under the fully-clay-laden 15-tonne truck last Wednesday morning. It’s been a week since his passing. Eighty years old?

Today is the day I planned on doing only one thing , but proceeded to fail to do. Today is the day I can summon no credible excuses for my lack of concentration- just simply can’t focus. Today is the day my favourite pohpiah at lunch fails to live up to standards- the sour old lady who sold them to me for extra 30 cents per piece couldn’t even give me two more decent slices of lettuce. Today is the day when my neurotic hunger pangs interfered with my work. Today is the day when I felt like I could not outlive the rest of the week. Today is the day I can see up till Sunday- I usually don’t go there- way too far ahead. Today is the day I go to bed an hour earlier from yesterday- and know it won’t make a big difference to how I feel about tomorrow. Today is the sum total of-
