Build Back Normal
Can’t wait to get back to Normal.
How most people did things
in the Before Times,
the way we dressed, behaved, interacted.
Old normality wasn’t Normal.
Perhaps it’s too late for a Better Normal.
Already roaring back to the normal of
mass shootings,
wealth and justice inequality,
scruffy appearance,
loud, rude, and thoughtless behavior.
Ignorant and proud of it.
Aspire to a New and Better Normal.
Caring for and about
ourselves and others,
treating people with
kindness and consideration.
Valuing our history and
striving to learn.
