Watching Two Strangers Meet

I silently watch Two strangers fearfully meet Neither smiling now Everyone is an enemy Whereas pre-pandemic we were all potential friends. We could strike up conversations in line and such. If these two Were the only survivors After a holocaust… Where all the rest of us are dead Would they be afraid to speak? Afraid to be friends? Pandemic laughs at me. In a diabolical way.

Eventually we all will need to learn to trust other people again. Good one, Caren.
