More on the human touch or lack thereof

Courtesy of the wonderful writers of the Oscar-winning movie Crash (If I only knew their names or their weblink I would give them a better shoutout) But this is one of the reasons why I (would like to) write. It's just so poignant, so direct, and characteristic of human behaviour. It always makes you stop to think and replay the realism. If it plays a part in your realism is another story.

-It's the sense of touch.

-What?

-Any real city, you walk, you know?
You brush past people.
People bump into you.
In L.A., nobody touches you.
We're always behind
this metal and glass.
I think we miss
that touch so much
that we crash into each other
just so we can feel something.
