We
Yes, I mean you too
Don’t hide
behind unworthiness or pride
You are not invisible, not above We
My eyes may have never met yours nor yours mine, but
I see you
I breathe you.
You breathe me.
We
a series of collective breaths
an intimate exchange
with a lover and a passerby
just the same
Inhaling
Exhaling
the same
air
And this virus
prancing about in the air and preying on life
with a sinister laugh at the face of individualism
knowing full well that my one breath of “freedom” could be your last
All of the elements have been conquered of sorts
but air is unruly, unboundaried and free
unclaimed by capital and human ownership
the last frontier, the ultimate share
it’s the air that teaches us we are community
And when we get to the other side of this
when the air is clear and all is said
may we take off our masks and
remember our interconnectedness
