Well, I’m certainly grateful you shared it! To me it doesn’t sound like a shrug, to me it puts into words (much more skillfully than I could) what I often feel when I am saddened by the news of the latest awful things humanity is doing to each other and yet on the same planet comfortable, normal life is going on elsewhere, and people are being loving to each other. How to hold it all? That’s what your poem expresses to me. Given the very sad news stories lately, I’m really appreciating this poem.
