Not ready to trust
humans to do the right thing
indoors or outdoors
while the numbers keep
creeping up a steady slope
I watch the pixels
accumulate as
the days turn into routine
a strange new normal
more strange than normal
but not so much that I feel
safe to trust again
just wear a damn mask
and don’t creep up behind me
waiting to buy milk
like we’re the last ones alive
