Corona Virus Just Getting Started

a fear-driven person wearing another blue mask walked past me I cannot tell if she was smiling the perils of the mask like windshield that is too darkly tinted corona virus just getting started predictions dire schools and families slamming shut I ponder wearing my own mask not ready, too unfriendly looking death rattle comes swiftly

i can't get used to the masks, either, caren. most people out on the streets in manhattan are not wearing them, but some are and they really spook me out. the comparison to the darkly tinted windshield is very creative...

It is going to become common I believe. I hope you are in seclusion. I am.

Caren, Well that is just wonderfully written poetry, 'I cannot tell if she was smiling the perils of the mask like windshield that is too darkly tinted'. I really got that image. Well said. -Richard
