PANDEMIC ON MY MIND

by George Salamon




In my head nobody
knows anybody else,
men and women come
and go from long ago
and far away, but don't
say where they're going.

George Salamon had his two jabs and the booster shot in St. Louis MO where people ask each other which high school they attended, pandemic or no pandemic. He does not know if that is a good or bad thing.
