I will wear a bright\nblue dress<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To the isolation\ngrocery tomorrow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And tights with hearts\nall over them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My neighbor will cup\nher hands to call<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A safe six feet across\nthe carrots,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I love your\ntights!” I’ll say,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I like your hat,”\nand grin,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for this moment we\nwon’t guess<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who could die because they came here today<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who might have lived ten\nmore years, thirty,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If they’d had flour and\neggs left at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this moment, I’ll\nstep aside,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let the next one out of\nthe soup aisle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before I go in, wash my\nhands,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wear my strained smile\nin the distance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And my cheerful blue\nbanner<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That I am still me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
