some people

i see 

my neighbor dr.
fauci

out on his lawn raking leaves.
i yell
out the window.

hey, hey. Anthony,
shouldn't you be
working

on that vaccine?
he gives me the one hand salute
and continues on.

which one is best, i yell
out.

should we wait until
we see what the side effects are?

i'm not going to go blind
or break out in a rash
if i get the shot, am I?

which arm is best?
do you blame the Chinese?

he looks up
and says. leave me alone.

can't you see i'm busy.

hey, why aren't you wearing
your mask, i ask him.

i have an extra one if you need
it.

i can toss it down.  red or blue?

at this point he picks up a rock
and throws it towards

my window, but it only goes
about three feet.

geeze marie.

okay, grumpy. i'll
leave you alone.

some people.
