Wearing a mask
An unenviable task
Has taught me much
Common sense and such
I humbly learnt
Garden bad breath
And abominable fart
Are not so different
It is easy to mistake
One for the other
Of similar make
Arising from the gut(ter)
Of being able to breathe
One's own exhaled breath
Back again .
Is like wearing one's own wreath
Parading
The paradox .
halitosis
Hail to thee.
