The New Normal

The new normal ?

Please 
do not cough or sneeze
for when you are near
I’m filled with fear

Just  wear your masks 
As you carry out your daily tasks
But don’t wear your dirty gloves
when you feed the doves.

No more need for appetizers,
Just the hand sanitizers?
Keep passing the milkshakes 
But don’t expect any handshakes.

This is the new normal,
The factual formal,
The viral violence, 
The statistical silence.
