Wearing these CDC-recommended masks is a ridicule
My ears being pushed forward like a monkey
We’re all walking around looking like a monkey
And the pain at the back of the ear is an unending story
I did not survive the hunting and gathering for this.
You also did not survive the hunting and gathering to lose your life to a virus. Wear your mask!

Talking with a mask on is a hazard of life
And I hope you had forgotten your specs, but either way
You’re blind.
Fume starts clouding your vision
Tripping on isle five—vegetable station.
How to explain to the smiling essential worker
Why logs of yam
Boomerang plantain
Droplets of taro
Rocks of potato
All piled on the floor.
With a broken phone, unfit human
Loose leaves floating, onto the ceramic
19th Commandment: THOU SHALT NOT stress out the essential worker.

Talking with a mask on is a nuisance
I open my mouth, I speak
Well into my conversation, I taste
Cloth.
Dry cloth folding in between my lips
Kissing my tongue.
In the instant before speaking
My Flight senses activate
“This is not normal. Is that what we’ve evolved to?”
Part 2 will be posted soon. But in all seriousness, please wear a mask. Thank you!
Stay safe out there.
