What my Face Mask Signifies

 

A reflection on an excellent essay by Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow

 

 

My face mask signifies nothing at all

It is only a matter of good hygiene

Like washing my hands and brushing my teeth

And eating a nutritious balanced diet

 

My mask is not an ideology

No more than my eyeglasses, hairbrush, or shoes

It is not a statement; it is paper on a string -

I simply want all of us to be safe and well

 

If you must find significance to construe -

Construe that my mask is to honor you
