I keep seeing pictures
from the Oval Office
of the President standing there
and ignoring it
as a medical emergency
happens next to him,
but if this ongoing pandemic
has taught me anything
it’s that most people
stand there and ignore it
when a medical emergency
happens near them.

I used to wonder
if people would take this virus
seriously again
if evidence emerged
that it increases the risk
of heart attack and stroke,
but now that researchers
have found just that
I find myself wondering

In the river
I saw swimmers
next to a sign which read:
“Warning
no swimming or diving,
undertow, shallow areas,

may cause injury,”
and as I looked from the words
to the swimmers
I understood:
we always think
