Barbershops all closed,
a Covid nonessential.
I clip my own mop.
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.
The Haircut

My hair is too long due to barbershops shutting,
I trim best I can but my hair sure needs cutting.
Today, on the street i stand silently waiting,
this one man barber shop now has me debating.
Gloves on, face masked, thinking is it worth my travail?
and my glasses start to fog each time i exhale.
It appears COVID-19 has ushered the mullet back,
but all things being equal I won’t hear much smack.
