Hugs and handshakes are
Passé in pandemic days
Fist bumps replace them

Ha, I just realized the import of these words. Yes, soon the double cheek kiss may be entirely out of vogue..(smile)

This is an excellent senryu poem, Sandra, and a keen observation on human greeting habits as well. A lot of this 'fist bumping' was inspired by professional athletes and it kind of caught on with the general public as well. Before that, we had what were called 'high fives, ' the raising of an open hand in the air and slapping it against an acquaintence's hand, again a habit of athletes at one time. Your fine poem is a clever write! Carl.
