Sociability
Wearing masks in check-out today
Computer glitch meant delay
Thought I'd strike up a conversation
Chase the boredom away
My first target looked at me strange
OK, his right, didn't think much of it
'Til the second fellow eyed me the same
Hmm, I thought. Gotta rise above it
The third fellow visibly shrank back
I felt that sociability was under attack
Don't think I'll frequent that store again
I'll take off my mask and make me a friend
