“Mornin’ ma’am.”
“Hi.” How long will this take?”
“Just five minutes to hook up the modem”
“Ok, could you please wear a mask?”
“Honey, don’t you worry,

We hit a milestone today.
200,000 dead in the United States from coronavirus.
I wipe down all surfaces with alcohol,
take 5000 milligrams of Vitamin C,
shower and head outside humming a tune.
