Ron Riekki
The Guys at the Construction Site Don't Wear Their Masks
and one guy coughs
while talking to another guy
and I walk over.
I have my mask on.
And I say, You might not want to be coughing
on each other.
And you might want to wear your masks.
And I walk away
and I hear laughter behind me
and one more cough.
And there is no sun today,
like someone chopped it out of the sky
or something.
