Kelly Clarkson's video I Dare You

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vzr-Hef26w

_______________________________________________________

In Kelly Clarkson’s latest video,
she sings a lovely song as groups of
assorted people “show” themselves
like happy burka wearers.
In one scene, two lovers
come together for
a tender kiss -
lips untouched
behind
masks.

Andrea, this just highlighted the inanity of the alleged new normal. Thanks for playing

I was thinking about seeing people kiss wearing masks, and hugging with in a bubble like protection. I will have to watch this video Andrea. I loved your poem and it too! xxoo

Ha, ha! Happy burka wearers! I love it... And I have been wondering if those Saudi and UAR women have had to purchase masks to wear under their veils... :) gw
