what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

There is no new normal just as there is no way-it-was. 

Looking back over the past 18 months peeling off the masks, after all the attestations, warning signs, stickers, directional arrows, stay home posters, one way signs, face mask demands, adhesive six foot ruler graphics, mean-muggin personal space dances, zoom meeting, home school, sore ears, hand sanitizer dispensers, disinfectant wipes, vaccination attestation thousand mile stare...

I’ve got one hand in my pocket and the other one’s making a please sign. It’s a poster I recently altered at my POE. When I say alter I don’t mean photoshop. I mean scissors and tape. please. I believe it boils it down and sums it up. please. 

Here and now in 2021 you can pronounce it however you want. fluidly flowing among or between or back and forth. 

please  /plēz/ or /puh-lēz/ or /plēēēēz/

repeat as needed

please
