Dear stranger,

Isn’t it weird that we can finally walk past each other

and aren’t at home behind a screen? 

A screen that strains our eyes,

the only feature of our faces we know. 

I want to say hello,

but it’s so hard to do when we are six feet apart

and I haven’t been able to even talk to my friends.

Conversation seems so unfamiliar. 

Isn’t it weird that we feel so out of place 

in a world we’ve known for years?

I hope we cross paths again in the future,

when I can finally see what you look like.

But isn’t it weird that we don’t even know

when that future will be?
