                              What my Face Mask Signifies

     A reflection on an excellent essay by Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow


My face mask signifies nothing at all
It is only a matter of good hygiene
Like washing my hands and brushing my teeth
And eating a balanced, nutritious diet

My mask is not an ideology
No more than my eyeglasses, hairbrush, or shoes
It is not a statement; it is paper on a string -
I simply want all of us to be safe and well

If you must find significance to construe -
Construe that my mask is to honor you
