Bump and Hide
We don't
Bump into each
Other anymore.
No more
Oh I'm sorry,
Let me
Pick you up
Off the floor.
It's orchestral manoeuvres
In the street,
Elbows touch
If we dare to meet.
The eyes have it,
One blink for yes
Two for no.
Masked intentions,
Don't move with the flow.
Just step aside,
Don't take the chance,
Thou shall not bump into me
This way, that way,
Do the Covid dance.

Every walk outside nowadays involves the Covid Dance. A choreographed display of social distancing and avoidance of contact.
I have not shaken hands with or hugged anyone except my wife, daughter and mother and father since March. And I do not recall the last time I accidentally bumped into someone in the street, or they me.
