Everyday is Sunday, now.
Every day is Sunday, now is a pinhole camera project recording shelter-in-place, social environments.

I had forgotten about the movie until it "magically" appeared in the suggested column of my Amazon list. I couldn't just let her know it was there I had to write this poem. It just seemed fitting.
