Meeting people in public —
pandemic notwithstanding —
should come with a disclaimer:
forget disaster planning,
there’s no manual for this
exodus of social norms.
Tardiness is now forgiven,
occupation’s many forms
reason enough to ignore,
anymore, kismet’s fleeting
interactions, born of time
and idleness — the blind meeting.
