Didn’t See The Gate Until The Bloody Thing Closed

It was an uncivil war

Fought in uncivil times.

Fought behind paper masks

Outside and yes, inside.

Fought by phone and QR code

At tables and doors.

A mask with no code means

It’s outside with yours.

They fight like a Karen.

All happy they’re sharing

Their point of view.

And, couldn’t you

Try to start caring?

You’re killing us!

Willing us!

To come shut you down!
