Blocks, cells, and blocks,
we are all cells.
In cells.
Cells of ourselves.
Cells of sides of someone
we thought we knew well.
I can hear conversations echoing
in the hallways of my hair,
or perhaps
It just coming from upstairs.
We can't see each other
but we can hear each other.
We can blow bubbles from the bottom floor
and know that they reach the top.
I can hear people telling their dogs to stop.
Telling children to stay back, and be careful.
All these sounds ringing.
Apartment quarantine.
Home life limousine.
Someone plays music for all to hear.
We stand on our balconies,
We applaud, we cheer.
From this tiny lonely life that we are all now living.
Remember the happiness, remember the giving.
