I deserve a vote on this one
This matter, that matters
Not just to you
but also to me
While you're there
So full of chatter
Head-talks
Of what ought to be
In these safe zones
of silence
You keep grounded
By isolated
idiosyncrasy
Remove that mask
reveal
the face of you
that's saying
This is not the way
It ought to be
It may seem like
Anyone can be a carrier
A risk factor
of youth
So you prepare
But even before
I knew you
this anyone, like no pandemic
was not allowed
to go there
Or
maybe
you're just relaxing
as a fully vaccinated pair
sipping booster shots and white oak
on the verandah of my fear
