Barely a person outside
Broadway lights are off
Work and school are done remotely
Call, text, facetime to reconnect and reminisce
Watch DJ Nice play songs from back in the day on Instagram
Connect people through Zoom to create a virtual bond
Give praise and appreciate the essential workers through struggle and survival
Give remembrance and dedication of those we lost
NYC will become a better place even from 6 feet of space
That we one day give each other that long waited hug
To bring back the NYC vibe
With 5 Boroughs of love
