Collected Item: “Wedge issue”

Give your story a title.

Wedge issue

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

text story

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

A facemask is a
warning that reads:
keep your distance
lest you drag me
down with you.

The people who
wear them are
of no concern,
they’ve chosen
to live.

It’s those that go
about, naked and
exposed, that
should frighten you.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
