Phase Two
The playground gates are open
And folks can eat outdoors
In restaurants and bars, as well as
Shop inside of stores.
Salons and barbershops will make
Appointments for their cuts
But masks must be in place, of course,
No ifs or ands or buts.
Though offices may now begin
To welcome back their staff,
The occupancy at one time
Cannot be more than half.
The city’s slowly crawling back,
Yet normal it is not.
I guess we should appreciate
The “normal” that we’ve got.
