Masked, I leave the house

How can breathing make my nose

Oleaginous?

We used to say we fed

On air, our love sufficing.

Give me that bagel.

Tsunami sends me

Tides of zombie images

Netflix night again.

Masked, you frown at me

As we pass on the sidewalk

Good morning mother!

Let's watch some Covid

We say, laughing, and switch on

Not so funny now.
