Virological Resistance

Caught in a moment of space and time
On a mucosal surface, a strand of
Ribonucleic acid with
Olfactory symptoms forms a
New pandemic
Attacks the very depths of human breath

Vulnerable, yet virally
Individuals interconnect by internet
Reviving resilience, even laughter
Unfettered by flesh or what to wear
Souls gather on Skype screens

Comingling virtually
Resisting virologically with
Insistent super-fast broadband creating
Sociologically
Intertwined
Selfhood
