November verse 10

I don’t think this one needs any explanation.

10. Webinar
We used to meet, shake hands, rub shoulders,
curse the traffic, kiss a cheek,
queue for name tags, bags and folders, 
find a chair that didn’t squeak.
Now it’s all, ‘You’re not unmuted,’
‘Can the speaker be spotlighted?’
‘Check the webpage in the chat,’
‘Share a screen – Oh look, a cat!’
To meet up now, we all go zooming:
names attached, we fill our screens
with gallery view, and by this means
we see a score of 2-D humans.
Minds still meet, and even hearts,
but what of one another's farts?
