the best mask of all

blue, green or white,
flat or bowl
bowl shape..it looks awful
cheap or expensive
bought or given free
bought? where?
pharmacies seemed to be outta stock
cover your nose and mouth
and when respiration becomes hard
some pulled under the chin,
the bowl, over their head
and then they look like
confused punjabis...
some ladies
wear purdahs,
not for vanity,
but the mask is outta stock
the best mask of all
is ayub's,
the riders' mask..
red n black..
