Still Virtual

I’ll agree to a virtual visit

With the people I can’t see for real.

The hugs and the closeness are missing

But it does have a certain appeal.

 

I’ll accept taking virtual classes.

There’s a lot the instructor can teach.

Though with projects that need supervision,

There are some that the teacher won’t reach.

 

Yet a virtual trip is a no-no.

I won’t pay to watch someone on screen

Walk through Harlem or Prague or the Catskills

And describe sights I wish I had seen.

 

How I miss all I once did in person!

The travel, the meetings with friends,

All the courses, museums and theater

I’ll resume if this mess ever ends.
