Notes on PPE

What if we could cover up blemishes, hide
greens between teeth, muffle poorly timed
giggles, and catch unexpected tears with a
single object?
What if it tipped morning makeup routines
into obsolescence? What if it changed how we
regard each other?
What if it protected us by preventing
contagion? 
Seems too good to be true.
