We stopped saying hello
We infected with caprice
Infected ones we love with doubt

Those we dislike with conviction
With memories of the gone
Which is an exacting affliction

Afflicted as we are with the same disease
With misunderstanding
With truth blasted out like a sneeze

With borders we could now see
With suspicion
And blame we no longer kept to ourselves

The virus was gone. In those early days
We replaced it with energy and humor
Then with our sense of what is righteous

Trying to infect others
A triumph for our country, the news trumpeted
While we questioned if we deserved it

We leaned away from bodies, stopped
Holding doors
We dragged our feet on office carpets

Burdened by familiar debts
We looked mockingly on those still masked
Forgetting the ways we are infectious

We walked the streets like sorrowful ghosts
And with two fingers rubbed our chests
What is it that was missing?
