The curtain drops on social interaction
The viral bridge of you-to-me transaction:
Six feet, like strangers, must we stand apart
Make cover-cough and washing hands an art
And stay-at-home the patience game of siege
Coronavirus novel reigning liege
Has stopped the music, keeping each in place
Until its transit frees us from blind space.
Will millions ordered off the jobs that earn
A livelihood regain them on return
Will children frozen mid-term out of school
Reclaim lost time, friends and scholastic rule
Will neighbors yearning for the curtain's rise
Rejoice at the new world that meets their eyes?
