we wear masks and disposable gloves
keeping out distance, six feet, lurking
suspicious, we grimace at those who are
bare-faced fearing the plume which emanates
from their mouths with each breath.
not even our eyes smile, being focused
on our lists, our bags, keeping family
and friends safe at home, and without
knowing, maybe keeping these souls,
shopping for food, safe - perhaps we
are the ones from whom they need
protection.
