When you woke up today,
did you take your mask off?
Did you inhale the oxygen
of uncrowded air
and drink water for a free mouth?
Did you eat and taste foods
that you haven’t tasted properly in a long time?
Did you mark the blue veins in your wrist
and remember you are alive?
Did you breathe out the monsters
that stirred your dreams?
After all, they were the reason
why you wore the mask.
Maybe you can’t help
but put it on again,
Or maybe take it off just a second,
and remember who
you are
without it.
