Across The Way
Jake Gyllenhaal
Another day in lockdown as panic grips the nation
Another day of quarantine and utter isolation
Thank God I have a window, thank God I have a view
Across the street another window
And in that window is you
Day 21, I noticed you, you played the clarinet
Day 24, you sorta waved and that was how we met
Day 29, at 2 am, we both were up too late
I poured some wine, you raised a glass like we were on a date
A really nice first date
You there, across the way, just above the shuttered sushi bar
I don't know your name
And I don't know who you are
But 60 feet has never felt so close
So close and yet so far
Day 32, I washed my hands, you made a cornish hen
Day 36, you sewed a mask, I washed my hands again
Day 43, we both ate lunch on windowsills that day
We felt the breeze and dreamed of France, a chic outdoor cafe
A tres bien cafe
You there, across the way, laughing as I play my air guitar
I don't know your name, and I don't know who you are
But 60 feet has never felt so close
So close and yet
So far I'm asymptomatic, except for a bad case of FOMO
And a slightly distressing, unhealthy obsession with
Governor Andrew Cuomo
Da-day 48, yeah that's today, I see your beaming face
You're holding up a handmade sign that says: My name is Grace
Grace, of course your name is Grace
You there, across the way, just above the shuttered sushi bar
Now I know your name
And I want to know who you are
But 60 feet has never felt so close
So close, and yet
So close and yet
Hello Grace, my name is Anthony
