What is
The future
of
First dates
In
A world
Imposing
Lockdowns?
I
Suppose
The question
of
Whether to
Hold hands
or
The
Perhaps
Nervous anticipation
Of
That first kiss
Have
A
New world
Resolution
"Well..
Actually..
No..
There
Will be
None
Of that!!"
If anyone
Questions
Such things
Does
Anyone
Question such things?
Or
Will the
Prospective
Suitors
Stare
Longingly
Or
With bewilderment
Through
The Plexi-glass
Barrier
Like
Visiting day
At the
Penitentiary
I
"see" you
Yet
You are
Out of
Reach
To me...
Though
Transparent
The
Looking glass
It forbade's
Even
The faintest
Acquaintance
Wait
Just a moment
Now
That mask
That
Barrier
Oh so
Familiar
To
Be sure
Until
Now
They were
Rendered
Invisible
Can
Something
That will
Remain
"Unseen"
Regardless
Of
The extent
It doest
Claim residence
Be
Held
Responsible
For
The plight
Of
The plentitude?
Or
Has it
Merely
Done
A magnanimous
Favour
So
The invisible
Has become
The visible
Allowing
So
Many
To see
Themselves
Stripped
Bare
Of
Mask & shield
Left
To face
The naked
Truth
Of
Themselves
And
The world
They've
Created
What
Then
Remains?
Please
Will
You
Grant
That
I may
Begin again?
Allow
Me
To
Introduce myself
