AFTER COVID-19

WE WILL NOT FORGET HOW TO FEEL
WE WILL MAKE IT SO THERE WILL BE TOUCH
WE WILL KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE CONFINEMENT WRITTEN INTO OUR BODIES
WE WILL FEEL & ACT FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN INCARCERATION AND ISOLATION DAILY 
WE WILL HUG OUR FRIENDS FOR AS LONG AS WE HUG OUR LOVERS
WE WILL NEVER EVER THINK THAT CHILDCARE ISN’T WORK EVER AGAIN
WE WILL AVOW CARE AS EVER CREATIVE
WE WILL UNCOUPLE HEALTHCARE FROM INCOME
WE WILL TAKE OUR FUCKING TIME TO CRY IT OUT AND SAY FUCK YOU TO THE HUMAN RESOURCES PERSON WHO SAYS THERE ISN’T TIME FOR THAT
WE WILL NOTICE FOR OURSELVES WHEN WE NEED MORE RESOURCING TO GET A THING DONE
WE WILL SEND NURSES TO SPAS
WE WILL SEND GROCERY WORKERS TO SPAS
WE WILL SEND YOUR MOM TO A SPA
WE WILL MOVE WITH ELATION AND BLISSFUL VULNERABILITY THROUGH A CROWDED NIGHTCLUB AND DELIGHT IN THE SWEAT OF STRANGERS ON OUR SKIN
WE WILL CUDDLE IN A HUMAN BALL PIT
WE WILL PAY OUR CARETAKERS OR BETTER YET WE WILL PAY EVERYONE UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME
WE WILL LIFT UP DISABLED AND QUEER COMMUNITIES WHO CREATED THE TECHNOLOGIES FOR US TO SURVIVE
WE WILL REMEMBER OUR BODIES AS SELF HEALING SYSTEMS
WE WILL KNOW SOCIETY AS A WHOLE, INTERSECTED ORGANISM, WHOSE HEALTH WE ATTEND TO, PROVIDE FOR, AND FIGHT FOR
WE WILL MOVE OUT OF TRAINING CAMPS FOR ISOLATION
WE WILL NOTICE SENSATIONS ON OUR SKIN
WE WILL GRANT AWARENESS TO KNOWINGS FROM OUR GUTS
WE WILL TAKE MASSIVE PLEASURE IN WITNESSING AND FACILITATING OTHER BODIES TO RECEIVE SOOTHING, NOURISHMENT, AND CARE
WE WILL REACH OUT FOR NEARNESS WITH EACH OTHER

AFTER COVID-19
WE WILL FEEL JOY IN OUR BODIES WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
