What do the numbers tell you about Saxony during COVID-19
When they are saying:
        We are low
So the people here surely follow the rules
Living by the law like good citizens
Wearing their masks
In a way epidemiologists would be proud of
Thus the numbers are suggesting —

What I’m observing
(usually from my bicycle)
Is this:
People are lazy and crazy
They are bending the rules
Wearing their masks
Only Men at Work would be proud of
        Down under
Nose-free
Many of them under their chin
Old men are wearing their crumpy face as a mask
Fat women are carrying certificates from the doctor stating
        I can’t breathe
        When I’m forced to wear one of those rags —

What’s keeping the numbers low in Saxony
Isn’t just the physical distance
Also the mental distance
It’s natural here
No regulations needed
Natural masks
Naturally appearing distance —

In frosty temperatures
COVID-19 isn’t able to spread —

There are low numbers in Saxony
Because COVID-19 is afraid of its people.
