there’s a little red spot on my hand today
after doing my weekly shopping at the ‘mart
i’m washing it, rubbing it, willing it away

This is a variation on my poem, Soul Story where I substituted ‘America’ as the focus of the work. Based on our current Covid climate, it seemed an appropriate plea for after this pandemic has subsided.
