It's interesting to note, all these months
later, how the plague has affected the
social side of our lives.
I imagine initially, we all stayed home
those first three months and ate whatever
was at hand. Then, little by little, we
ventured forth, masked to the nines,
distance appropriate.
Now, I see so many out and about, often
no protection, returning slowly but surely
to life as they knew it. Me thinks we've
become inured to the danger.
On my end of the stick, I am finally
getting to see the children . . . masked
and distant, but see them nonetheless.
The odd friend stops by, insistent on
bringing their own beer and even
avoiding snacks.
So, here's to elbow bumping, crossed
arms hugging, waves, phone calls and
e-mails. Staying in touch is indeed
important; perhaps now more than ever.
feeling all alone
i find myself missing you
