The Tourist Families

Watched the tourist families

As they strolled and shopped and sipped.

Without their masks, you might have thought

That Covid had been whipped.

 

They skated on the ice and bought

Hot chocolate and raclettes.

If germs were floating in the air

They didn’t feel their threats.

 

Yet all of my anxiety

Of Omicron infection,

Despite my jabs and distancing

And masks for my protection

 

Was not apparent, outwardly,

On anyone I saw.

I wish, like them, I could command

My worry to withdraw.
