The Old Adjacency
Perhaps
it was never
fully appreciated –
that unruly niche created
by clear affinity
for near vicinity
and close proximity
of personal spaces.
Conversing in faces.
This drawing and poem was created for howweare.org –a space for writers and artists to share work related to their experiences during the pandemic. It was partly generated out of pondering how my own long-standing hesitancy to be around groups of people could change in the future.
