Little mask, so flimsy and black

What do you cover, collect, and gain

While they hack hack hack?


Little mask, peeking out from under my nose

What security do you promise

When the evidence could be

splattered on my clothes?


Little mask, i've lost you twice now

Down the rabbit hole of my laundry chute

And pride.


Little mask, would they put you on too

-Would they strap you close-

If they knew from which disease we truly hide?
