Scanning
anxiously
around each
every corner
adrenaline rushes
the aisles Pac-Man runs
you try to evade
but they appear
unnerved
bandits without masks
tiptoeing across your path
grabbing that which you
physically-distanced
are looking for
outlaws of compassion
standing
delivering
exhaling bare-faced
they mock
ridicule, jest
at whose expense?
those exposed
who have no choice
unwittingly allied
bandits without masks
do them little service
heartless
cold blooded smiles
