Cut up the bedsheets
And haul out the Singer
Time for muscle memory to take you back
To middle school Home Economics
Like great grandma Clara
Sewing piecework in the tenement
Or else Scarlett O’Hara
Ripping ball gowns into bandages
We’re making do
Covering our faces
Learning how
To work within the limitations
We are an army made of amateurs
We volunteer to gather up
What rags and scraps of
Fabric we can stitch together
Following a pattern that we
Already suspect will be
Inadequate to keep it out
Despite the coffee filters but
We’re making do
Covering our faces
Learning how
To work within the limitations
And though it’s nice to see how we can rise to the occasion
Can you believe that we have come to this sad situation
The masks we make are brave but we know they are only makeshift
So take a breath and work within the limitations
We are assembled in our
Separate assembly line home
Factories of fashionista
Garment district workers we’re
A victory garden blossoming with
Handkerchiefs we feed into the
Presser foot turn out some more of
This homemade equipment
We are making do
Covering our faces
Learning how
To work within the limitations
To work within the limitations
To work within the limitations
