Outside Masks

Outside, many people’s masks

Are draped below their chins

Or wrapped around their upper arms

Or stuck to clothes with pins.

 

A special necklace keeps them

Hanging down along the chest,

While some are stuck in pockets

Or in pocketbooks, at rest.

 

For those whose masks are waiting

‘Til their owners go inside,

The fact that they’re available

Means savvy is implied.

 

No matter where they’re carried

When they aren’t on a face

Beats the ones who will not wear them,

Whose denial’s a disgrace.
