Just Wear It

So the new norm is that you have to wear a mask pretty much everywhere you go 

But although it’s something that has been happening for the past 3 months

I still can’t get used to it 

Having my face covered as I breathe in my own hot breath while picking up bread and cereal at Shoprite isn’t all that fun 

But I do it, because the CDC is as moody as ever and is forever changing their mind

One day you hear the virus lasts days on surfaces and a few weeks later they it doesn’t 

Who does all that and why?

It’s annoying and I’m over it 

But not to the point that I’m going to go out to the supermarket without my mask 

See the way I see it, it’s somehow better to be safe and prevent 

The one thing that I can be sure of is that my mask keeps foreign germs at bay 

And for the girl that has bus pants to go to Shoprite a la Dr. Sheldon B Cooper 

Well it’s a thing I’m going to do just to be extra careful 

And I completely understand that the body needs fresh air to thrive

I mean come on, trees are the lungs of the planet 

But for the moments that I’m inside I’ll wear the mask 

I think about how doctors wear them for surgeries that are hours long 

And I tip my hat to them 

It’s quite a feat 

But for the people that complain about having to wear the mask 

Well, if necessity is the mother of invention then why aren’t they inventing something good like more outdoor spaces with amazing air quality so people can shop outside, to keep enough of a distance that if they want they can forgo wearing a mask if they wish to do so safely 

I’m over hearing complaints with no attempts to a solution 

Get it together people 

Oh and am I the only weirdo that smiles under her mask while wearing dark sunglasses thinking that people can see me while trying to be friendly 

Happens all the time

Ah to be me…
