In troubling times, the temptation is strong
To retreat into a lonelier, quieter space:
It’s easy to assume it’s other folks
Who are making our lives miserable:
Surely watching from a distance
Will ease our pain;
So much easier to claim we love
When we’re not required to act on it.
And yet… so much of what gives pleasure in life
Is found in interactions with other humans.
