no more comic books

or picturing his first shave

no more sneaking drinks

or pretending not to hear

two ten main street is no more

Thanks to Fandango for the thought-provoking photo. It reminded me of the sad Covid-19 reality that some things may never come back. Not sure why my mind went to barbershops, but … it did. So here’s my story that’s also a poem or poem that’s also a story? You get the idea!

Stay safe! Where a mask. Be a kind human person. We’re all going thought something.

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

trampled

disguised by deceit  

as they race for the dollar

unmoved by our pain

Thanks to Ronovan Writes for today’s haiku challenge. Our words were cloak (for which I substituted disguised) and race. The challenge inspired me but the opinions are my own. And my apologies to elephants everywhere. They are smart and very empathetic creatures. They deserve better than to be linked to the orange one and his minions.
