Quarantine

They canceled the last flight. Which one? The one that’d bring him back home. He and his little bright red suitcase. Who buys a bright red suitcase? Doesn’t matter. It’s madness! What. Stop all flights. We never flew. We pretended we flew. Yes, that. I liked pretending I was happy. You can do it now. I don’t want to. You don’t want what? Stop being happy. I thought you’d never surrender. Never say never. Everyone is gone. You can still see them on the screen. It’s only their faces. The soul is gone. You’re crazy. It’s been ten days and we’re still locked in this room. I like it here. I don’t, my legs get swollen from sitting too much. Does it hurt? Yes. It feels like someone tied a rope on my stomach. What about museums? Closed down. And all the art? It will be burned outside the city. No! Yes. No! Yes. Will you see him again? Don’t know. They’ll only let me touch his image. On the computer you mean. Yeah, I might have to fall in love with the screen. That’s good training. For what? Loneliness. Don’t be ridiculous. Yesterday a bird sit on my window and looked me in the eyes. What he said? The sky is a thousand times cleaner. Because there are no planes? Because there are no humans. I spent the whole day talking to myself. Out loud? In loud, but still, to myself. Market is crashing. So? We’ll all be poorer from now on. I’m already poor. Now you will be more. I’m poor cause I can’t touch his nose. He had a big nose? I don’t remember. What? His nose. They say they will enforce unkissing. Never. Never say never. Kissing was the best part. What you thinking? What hurts the most. What? Parks. Just that? And hugs. Do you think they will completely go extinct? I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t believe it. True. True. What you doing? Gotta check up my heart. Why? I think it’s infected. Now what? Gonna have to put all my love in quarantine.
