Someday we won’t need to touch
Anything, not even the floor
Someday we won’t need to touch
Anything or anyone anymore
We’ll just float around inner spaces
Well-adapted to indefinite stasis
And if we ever need to touch
We won’t even need to wash our hands
We’ll extend a friendly tendril
Retractable touch-tentacle
Self-sanitizing, optimized
The handshake has been revised
Someday we won’t need to touch
Anything, not even the floor
Someday we won’t need to touch
Anything or anyone anymore
