Emptying your /
old pockets, I find dead masks /
stained with your phlegm.

Not a curse
Get vaccinated. Wear a mask.
Neither are difficult tasks.
Do it for yourself and your friends to see.
Show compassion and responsibility.
It’s not a trick and it’s not a shame.
Treat yourself and others the same.
Kindness and courtesy are not a curse.
Being sick or dead would be far worse.
Rise up now and do your part.
A mask and a shot are moral places to start.
