Distancing

So I social distance,
Work remotely,
Home school,
Leave a gap.

Yet it feels
Like everything,
Everyone
Got closer.

Their problems
Have become mine,
Sympathy
Is not enough.

The other side
Of the world,
Of the street
Made contact.

I cannot
Isolate
From this
Sharing.

My eyes
Tear ready
Have become
Opened.
