Don’t hug your friends.
Just a wave and an anxious smile,
No handshakes, please.
Yes, darling, I will kiss you…
After the recommended waiting period.
Let us trade passion for caution,
At least for two full weeks.
I would move mountains for you!
(As long as they are not in China or Italy.)
Forget roses – I have toilet paper and hand sanitizer.
I’ll leave them on the curb. .
I had to write something after being reprimanded by a Dutch gentleman at the mall for hugging my friend goodbye after our lunch date.
These are the times we are in. I’m sure the social distancing won’t last forever, but I was so taken aback by this!
Anyway, hope you are all staying well, wherever you are!
