It was nine o’clock post meridian and the apartment
Smelt of homemade pizza and wine. A typical
Friday night, pizza and wine followed by some
Dystopian movie to while away the night. Only,
This time the voice of the Taoiseach came over
The airways to announce the curfew that would
Be enforced, due to the corona virus pandemic.
Deaths, as had been forecast, were multiplying
And we had to act fast if we were going to stop
The spread of the contagion. As he spoke, we all
Looked at one another. The mood in the home
Changed. History was in the making, and we were
All now caught up in the same movie, actors in some
New human drama, our lives were in our own hands.
