The wild ducks swans and Plovers
come face to face with those
Covid masks tossed everywhere
they covered our mouth and nose
all the mucus membranes
just tossed into the air
left around for the wild life
because we do not care
imagine being a carp or roach
a gudgeon or a bream
floating on the pool surface
A mucus ridden stream
of hopelessness and ugliness
it really isnt fair
Covid masks on every street
why are we not more aware.
