COVID Bubble

They say you need a COVID Bubble

where you feel safe from harm,

where you’re not all the time on guard,

watchful for ev’ry alarm.

I look out on my quiet street

to the homes in the cul de sac.

My neighbors move about their day,

going forth and back.

We’re socially distanced, faces masked,

all compliant, doing as asked,

trying to stay away from trouble….

Maybe this is my COVID Bubble.
