Social Distancing

Social Distancing

There is fear
Planted by closeness..
By warnings posted in
The world without..
Closeness they say
Will be sharing of a
Microscopic terrorist
Lurking in our breath
Poised to leap when
The distance is right..

Is this admonition 
Begging a turn inward to
Locate that place 
Which is not a place
Where distance dissolves
In a newfound Calm...?
