Homesneeze

It’s the weekend, late afternoon.

Inside, people tend to their plants.

Outside, there are picnics. Puppies make a nuisance of themselves. The wind picks up.

Everyone sneezes. They turn away from each other.

They sneeze into their hands and, when they remember, into their elbows (it’s post-2020 after all).
