there’s hardly a sound

to hear

except for the knock on

the door

the neighbour who comes

around

saying hello

before lockdown 3 will start

in three days

all is still

besides the daily contracted

people

who still are lucky to hold

a job

have moved early this morn’

to finish up midday.

then – as all goods and food

have been shopped already

will return to suburbia

to spend the x-mas holidays

at home

but not so the well-to-do

and dedicated sports pals

who’ll inundate the ski resorts

but this year with strict

adherence to health reg’s

wearing masks wherever

they will gather

inside or outside inns and

bars or facilities

lockdown 3 reg’s will bite.

the artist has depicted masked

people of the 2020 massing

already some years back

when fear gripped his heart

poets/artists

equipped with sensitive

antennas.
