I like my mask I don’t have to pretend to smile Don’t have to disguise my grimace when I smell that Or the twist of my lips when arguing about vaccines It smells like my mint gum from this morning like my breath, a small warm caress on my cheek, intimate and small It pulls on my ears, but my patients can’t tell if I’ve brushed my teeth And at the end of the day Unlike the hats I wear I can take it off
