Harris County Judge Lena Hidalgo Sued over
Face Mask Requirement
“Who was that masked man?”
-various minor characters
in The Lone Ranger
Once upon a time
masks were forbidden
Those fashion
statements of outlaws and Klan
Whose faces and crimes
they kept hidden
Behind funny facewear,
like Batman
As if we were
Spanish colonials
Dismisses our
rights as superfluous
Written off by
her edicts baronial
To tell the
Alcalde – “Masks no more-oh!”
(Relax,
Ms. Grundy, it’s just a bit of fun with layered allusions to Texas history; I
have my mask.)
