Cosmic Ask

COVID masks are optional for

vaccinated folks like me.

But now I don’t need to wear one,

I’m nervous as I can be.

I haven’t been wearing make up

or fluffing my COVID hair.

My mask gives me a full disguise

when I go anywhere.

Now I’m about to show my face.

My friends will see my full disgrace!

So now I have a Cosmic Ask –

Please, oh, please let me wear a mask!

Re-Entry Anxiety: A Conundrum

We now can open up our doors,

put on our masks, and go.

“They say” we find it hard to do –

 “re-entry” is going slow.

We’ve gotten used to staying home,

alone, behind closed doors –

going out, when needed, only to

essential stores.

The change is going slowly as we

cope with “Virus Dread”.

Tho now we can go right along

we’re staying home instead.
