the Delmonico steak joint

the guy at the door wants
to see
our vax
cards. to see if we're
inoculated
with the covid shots
and booster.
it's a swanky place,
and we're all dressed up.
it's cold as a penguin's
butt outside
so we dig into our wallets
to find
the cards.
i take out my polio card.
my rubella,
my tetanus,
my shingles,
my flu shot card,
my pneumonia card.
measles,
chicken pox.
typhoid and finally my
covid card. holding it
upside down.
they shrug
and say okay.
you're good.
come on in.
do you want the nine
inch
Delmonico, or the six.
