Parentheses: the symbols [ ] that are put around a word, phrase or sentence in a piece of writing to show that what is inside them should be considered as separate from the main part.
Cambridge Dictionary
That’s what this lockdown is.
Parentheses.
There’s a life before, a life after, and right now we’re inside the brackets, existing in a slow limbo.
I know of course the life that came before, it’s trying to re-imagine the shape of my life/work/self after that’s leaving me uncharacteristically sleepless.
