Kangaroo hops

Through anxiety hoops

Pouch the chilling screams

Fur bristles on my skin

Bumping vertebrae

Skipping bacteria land mines

Masked marauders on

Santa Monica boulevard

Putrid colored gloves

Vacuuming away hard surfaces

Droplets of germs looking to land

Deep breath focusing

Temperature rising

Pulling weights

Grabbing grins

From Bette Midler’s

Distance

Longing for a shot glass

Of hopeful gratitude

Positive outcome.
