Resisted Distance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

This 'social distance'.
To resist the possibility,
Of becoming a permanent change.
And part of our continuing,
Adjusting to accept...
An existence of reality.
As quick as it came unexpectedly.
Will definitely leave,
Its effect on everyone's mind.
For quite some time.
With a examining what we do,
To ourselves and others too.
Proving to take for granted,
Can within 'seconds'...
Teach!
More than one lesson to learn.
Welcoming what had been resisted.
Too long to prolong.
But those times from us have gone!
