Bushfires are the reason why I already had an air purifier and an FFP2 mask when Covid-19 hit. Now I have half a dozen purifiers (for both home and travel) and elastomeric respirators with replaceable N99 filters.
@plaguepoems.bsky.socialAs we walked
towards the grocery store
the gray-haired man
asked me why
I was wearing a mask,
so I pointed at the sky
and said: “I don’t want
to breathe in this smoke,”
and then
after looking at the sky
the gray-haired man asked
if I had an extra mask.
