The Lincoln Road

The Lincoln road nearby 
Walking the hills, near silence and illness
No masks, though winter is coming
Deadlocks, people forgetting vaccines
Even the smartest wander about
Stores and movies, dinners and coffees
Cars, buses and planes
Sidewalks and streets
Winter is coming 
The Lincoln memorial stands nearby
And Lincoln's statue stands in the cold
Character and force 
A vaccinated friend suffers after 3 shots
Yet still is at home and ill
Illness and fatigue
Parks, lights and trees 
What will December bring
