I like this era
of quaint new words
that help me explain
how I see each new day
as a hardened target
against which
I have weaponized
my smile
how I follow therefore
in my daily routine
all necessary
hazmat protocols
keeping a safe
distance from others
how I live on such
a high alert level
prepared
for all threats
and how the occasional
preemptive strike
is necessary to preserve
my freedom
