The virus watched, nose pressed
Against the window, but the lovers
Didn't notice, they rolled like bonobos, shaking

The bed. We heard through our walls
Which means they could hear us, too
Shaking in ways animals can

Forgetting-forgiving-our limbs, our
Organs, all the ways our rococo parts
Can thrash, can work toward climax, can spoil

Omphalos of all the worlds where we
Exist, our vigor omnidirectional
On the other side, our other neighbor

Pounded on the wall. Damn
Him, we thought, could he not
Take it up with the virus, out there?

Of course, we knew we were being
Unfair. The virus was here to stay
We could sense it even now, lonely

Virus shivering in the cold
Eyes alit upon the ecstasy unfolding
Time and everything stopped, its breath

Fogging up our window, trying to leave
A reminder, its mouth curled in an O
Shouting Ooh-la-la. And, Bravo!
