A mask is like a microscopic tick
We can't see it, but we can feel it, ick
As I peel
(the microscopic tick) off my face
I'm repulsed
I declare an appeal, “senit!”
the microscopic tick
has succeeded in form of fear
It's won the battle
Yet Covid is still here
As I look on the ground (all around)
the microscopic ticks
are swarming in the air
the dirty masks lay there…
Breathless, weightless, thoughtless, penniless
with an unconscious stare
microscopic tick!
