What is it like
A day in a mask
At a coffee
Shop in this crisis?
We fill our day
With daily tasks and
Waiting out time
From clock in to out.
We smile behind
Our masks, hoping it
Reaches our eyes.
Music fills silence
But not the void,
Missing our friends,
Our families,
And our regulars.
We miss seeing
New faces coming
In with wonder
Shining in their eyes.
So we stay strong.
We put on our masks.
We brew coffee.
We await the day
The masks come off,
So we smile once more
With whole faces.
