There are those with whom casual defines the relationship
Others with whom there is a nodding aquantaince
At work there are often many friends
Till an invitation to go for drinks after work
Then the friends list is pared down
Occasionally there are those with whom a confidence is shared with
How that confidence is shared by your confident
Will determine how long they remain your confidant
Beyond that there are those with whom you are too close
Discretion was compromised in an unguarded moment
When eyes meet there is an acknowledged moment
A breach of decorum has occurred
Too much is revealed
Possible wishes, dreams, hopes, sadness
Feelings which bind
We are too close and I must go!

Interesting….’60’s you noted involved a “space of embrace”…..3 feet….identical to your too close. Twice the safe distance today..we could touch, hold hands at 6 feet….and we choose to refrain. Frank, I hate to think what we are doing to out sense of oneness. This is a very wicked virus.
Brutal, simply brutal and I’m afraid it has changed things beyond our comprehension. Thanks Steve
