social interaction
is complicated
by communities contraction
chit-chat out of practice
reticence to touch or hug
greetings rusted from inaction
So awkward I may be
more use to silence
and prone to disagree
or to fill a space
inadequately
with an unrelated comment
or an opinionated decree
Still the sweetness of connection
is a balm to the global infection
the old normal dead and gone
and from it rises a timid dawn.
