Such a wonderful poem! I've been meaning to check out a post of yours since you joined SteemTerminal recently, but had not done so yet. Then, @enginewitty shared the link to this poem during the PYPT curation show. It is a wonderful piece of writing!

I love how you set the scene... walking, uneven pavement, gum, feces, pole, drum, equating the trudging to horses clomping... then the shattering of your bubble, your wall, the woman, the smile, the virus... infected! What a great story, all rolled into a delightful poetic form! Love it! Bravo! 😃
