Covid Is a Lie

Covid is a lie she tells me, hoping for an argument.
My silence probably grates her.
All news is false except for my news station, she goads me.
I do not roll my finger around my ear or make the L sign on my forehead.
I congratulate myself on my restraint.
Finally feeling like a grown up.

When I turn around and walk away, that is when I inobtrusively make the L sign on my forehead. But, I do try to restrain myself from responding to ignorance.

I am shocked that our nation is divided down the middle about the vaccine.
