A cacophony of virtual,

    composed voices,

     connected through veins of

      communication in vacuum.

 

       contemplations vaingloriously

        catapulted via videoconferencing.

         coercively (in)visible, our in-person

          community seemingly vanquished.

 

           closing our villages

           creates new vanguards.

         

          composure in variability,

         clamouring for vaccination,

        care-givers and the vulnerable,

       call for volunteers.

 

      credibly volatile, it

     continues to violate – now, we are

    contained, victoriously – now, we await

A combative valediction.
