Six Feet

Jerry Pendergast

The reccomended
social distance, same as
my Father’s height.

the depth a casket is lowered.
Six pairs of gloves
for pall bearers.

Three sixes
A pretty good hand
in most forms of poker.

A symbol of a beast.
Is it an enemy nation, alliance?
An evil spirit?

Or is it a philosophy?
A system?
An obsession?

Points earned with a touchdown
Points on star of David
Symbol for one gang alliance.

Still enemies
with those who wear
the five pointed star?

Or tag it on walls?
with initials,
slash between letters?

Six pack
Under a walking home
neighbor’s arm.

Working on a six pack
with twists and lifts at home
gym closed?

Is there any harm
if we take one four pack
of rolls and leave the rest?

Give yourself a test.
Can we lighten our loads, have less
Bare shelves?
