Touch and Go

Touch is just that,
Have you done that?
Your kids you sure did,
Your wife also gets physical,
Perhaps you have done that with near ones and friends,
But how many of others,
Do we touch and feel,
If I was blind I would have legitimate authority,
To touch and feel,
Now that I have two eyes,
My touch and feel are controlled,
Barring above people,
Others when I touch they look askance,
It is too familiar for them,
When you were far and not near,
Touch is for familiar and known,
Despite the fact that we have grown,
In numbers and crowd the room,
We remain still far,
Avoiding touches,
If they do try to reach your skin,
All you do is walk out of the room,
Leaving the door ajar.
