don’t you stand so close to me
keep your distance
hold your breath
and do not sneeze
told a man off
in the supermarket
‘stop fondling the onions’
he looked bemused
wipe everything over
when you get it home
rinse bananas cans of tuna
remember: wash your hands
seventeen cans of black beans
ninety-one rolls of toilet paper
three slabs of melbourne eleven bottles of prosecco
we’ll see this through
standing at the bathroom mirror
hair-cut time – snip a bit here
a bit there – oops! too much
never mind who will see
greeting shouted across the street
no hugs no kisses keeping distance
hand raised in vulcan salute
keep well and prosper

It was one of the strangest things to stockpile seeing that we make it here. Then there was a stage where cat litter was in short supply. I hate to imagine what was going on there. Thankfully, things seem to have settled down now.
