Too Insignificant

Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles

Obscured from the universe,
I’m holding up my fears,
Letting out cries
That no one will hear

My tear, just a drop
In the big, boundless sea
Flowing where it takes it
Until it’s unseen

Nobody can feel
What I feel deep down
Even the loudest of screams
Don’t seem to make a sound

They travel their way
Into the empty air
Till they go unheard,
Landing somewhere

Waking each day
Feeling all the same
Was the world this terrifying
Even before I came?

Would it even matter
If I faded away
The sun would still shine
To start off yet another day

In a cold infinite world
My tiny world is unseen
Where my quivering pain
Is only for me to feel…

This poem deals with existential dread- the fear that you are too small and too insignificant in an empty, cold and vast universe to be able to…

Of Shooting Sunbeams

yaskhan

I watch sunbeams dance on a turquoise sea
Alabaster clouds swirl round the golden sun
The sunlight warms and invigorates me
Watching tasseled shadows is so much fun.

Alabaster clouds swirl round the golden sun
Melting azure waves stretch out on the shore
Meandering warm sands, naked toes burn
On varnished sea shells, tales of ocean lore.

Melting azure waves stretch out on the shore
Lavender skies arch over beaming waves
On zephyr's back sunning themselves birds soar
In sun-lit sparkling seas fishes play.

Lavender skies arch over beaming waves
The sunlight warms and invigorates me
In sun-lit sparkling seas fishes play
I watch sunbeams dance on a turquoise sea.

The pantoum is a poetic form derived from the pantun, a Malay form:specifically from the pantun berkait, a series of interwoven quartains.

CDC says Arizona has US’s highest rate of new COVID-19 infections | TheHill

Arizona is one of a handful of states that have been resistant to employ strict measures to control the virus. It does not have a mask mandate and remains largely devoid of restrictions on indoor dining, bars and nightclub activities that other states implemented months ago to slow COVID-19’s spread.

The state hit a record number of hospitalizations resulting from the virus last month, with more than 4,300 hospitalized across the state with coronavirus. Gov. Doug Ducey (R), briefly instituted stay-at-home measures last spring but declared as early as May that the state was “clearly on the other side of this pandemic” and relaxed those measures

DeWine signs ‘stand your ground’ gun bill into law (Fool finds another way to kill needlessly)

(Someone you don’t know is jogging toward you and pulls a phone out to talk to his son or daughter… you think he may have pulled out a weapon, so you pull out your pistol; fire and kill him. DeWine is saying: “that’s ok” you killed him – because you claim that you thought your life was in danger)

Infrared thermometer on the wall (iThermowall): An open source and 3-D print infrared thermometer for fever screening – Docwire News

The iThermowall is a low-cost non-contact thermometer, adapted for the use of fever screening in public areas without an operator. The hardware can measure human body temperature automatically when the distance between the sensor and forehead is adequate. Temperature measurement validation of the iThermowall was conducted by T-test analysis. The results show that the P-values for all the test is more significant than 0.05, means that the mean Celsius temperature for both groups (reference thermometer and iThermowall) are similar. This article provides the 3-D printable open-source and the full source code firmware for the developing and under-resourced communities.

Spider-Man-style medical gun spins out ‘skin substitute’ for burns | Medical research | The Guardian

Doctors in Europe and Israel have begun using a medical gun that spins out a protective web to cover burns and wounds, hoping the breathable “skin substitute” will help patients recover without the need for painful bandage changes.

Nanomedic, the Israeli company that designed the Spincare system, claims its device gives patients increased mobility – often essential for burn rehabilitation – and the ability to shower, a process that can be difficult with traditional bandages. The translucent layer it produces allows medics to examine the wound without touching it, the firm says.

Colchester Hospital: Covid deniers removed from ‘at capacity’ hospital – BBC News

Mr Hulme said hospital security had to “remove people who were taking photographs of empty corridors and then posting them on social media, saying the hospital is not in crisis”.

“When you’ve got that sort of social media pressure and those people denying the reality of Covid it really concerns us. Words fail me,” he said.

“Why would people do that when we all know somebody who has died from Covid?

“Of course there are empty corridors at the weekend in outpatients, because that’s the right thing to do.

“We are facing the biggest health challenge we’ve ever seen and we are still seeing people flouting the [social distancing] rules.”

Under coronavirus pandemic restrictions on social distancing, many outpatient consultations had been moved online or were taking place over the telephone, he added.

Physical appointments, tests and procedures had been organised differently to avoid crowded waiting areas.
