we are of the herd
we humans have much of the herd in us,
a need to socialize,
to touch each other,
both figuratively and literally,
the city where the jostle together
is where and how our species
is increasingly finding itself,
yet this virus pulls us away from crowds,
from mass transit and restaurant meals,
and we are denied the physical closeness of friends,
I feel for our young
who need to tussle about with friends,
like bear cubs feeling who they are
as they tumble about, together.
