Expecting the Covid Police
In a doctor’s office during a pandemic
Two old friends greet each other
Loud voices, enthusiasm showing
They run to hug
Two thousand signs say stay six feet apart
They are old men
Probably far-sighted
Cannot see the signs
I look at the nurses
Will they hose them down?
The men embrace
The Covid Police do not come to haul them to the pokey
I feel relief
