Unmasked

by Pam Ayres

Oh, somebody make me a beautiful mask,
Of shimmering silk, or brocade, or damask,
Sequinned and spangled, my visage to cup,
In fabric that won't make me glasses steam up.

Yeah, give it some frills and some lace furbelows
Frolicking playfully over my nose
With entry to viruses firmly refused
Or is it for keeping them in?
.. I'm confused.
