I cannot feel elation

Many people will, I suppose. It is a change. A landslide, as they keep saying. But I am ambivalent. Is it enough? Who can say? I am locked in my own concerns. I feel bad about that. The outer world has become surreal. There is too much that I no longer recognise. And it’s the others that have been let in, they are more concerning. Those small parties with their bitter poisons. Let us be washed clean of such hate. Soon. Please.
