Today's poem is by Paul Hostovsky

Face Mask
       

Have you noticed
how beautiful
everyone looks

when all you can see
are their eyes?
Something about

the imagination,
how it conjures
a perfectly

beautiful face
in the eyes
of the beholder

facing a pandemic
and a polity
with so many unveiled

ugly hatreds.
