All that can be known for
Certain is that one day, on
A day I don’t remember,
People seemed to decide not
To hold my hand anymore
Because holding hands means
Something
That it never meant before.
And everyone stops doing this
One thing and uses the hands
Instead for slapping backs
With a force that could
Knock you over if you don’t
Expect it, if you don’t
Prepare for it.
