Bait and Switch
The kids have been amped up
for about a week now.
They think we will have to go
virtual because, you know,
the rumors, and the mitigation
strategies, and the positivity rates.
I guess we thought this year
was going to be different,
was going to be normal.
We all wonder. We all worry.
We’re all human, and uncertainty
stirs us like a blender, and we
just want this to end one way
or another because, let’s be
honest, we’ve all been violated.
And we’ve all been robbed
of a thousand tiny and critical
moments that people used to have.
We ache for facial expressions
and for physical proximity.
We need to feel trust again, but
trust is in such short supply.
