PRESSING OUR EARS TO THE WALL

By Camonghne Felix


WILD SPECULATION

A series about what comes next.


WILD SPECULATION

A series about what comes next.

Illustration: by Luci Pina

For the first year of the pandemic, I was still living in Boston, where I had no
family, and most of my friends had already moved back home to recover from the
arduous presidential primary and hide in the comfort of their families. In the
earliest days of the lockdown, I would weep at the thought of dying alone in my
550-square-foot apartment, of no one hearing me gasp for air if I suddenly lost
it, of no one hearing me bang on the walls if I needed help.


ARE U COMING?

A weekly newsletter of late-night dispatches from a city ready to party.

Service apply.

Weeks later I learned that my upstairs neighbor, the wife of a 60-plus-year-old
couple from New Hampshire, could hear my music, and could tell my mood based on
my selections — Lucky Daye when lonely and missing my then-lover; Bunny Wailer
when lonely and missing my mother. Later we exchanged numbers, and developed a
small tradition of asking if the other needed anything from the store when going
food or toiletry shopping, and to check in, just briefly, to ask if the other
was doing all right, you know, Hanging in there? And also to say that we could
hear the other, moving around, still living, which was annoying, but unusually
reassuring, and decidedly welcome.



While I was afraid to leave my lobby, whenever I did leave my apartment, I found
myself astounded by the warm, gentle caution of people who were clearly new to
the labor of community care and mutual aid. At the Whole Foods, people smiled
with their eyes, almost as if to say, “Hello, I am glad you’re well, please be
safe.” Everywhere I went, the supermarket, the bank, workers offered me hand
sanitizer, offered me an extra mask, told me to be safe. In the checkout line at
the CVS, people took an extra step back and swept their hands out as if to say,
“All of this space is yours, and all of this space is safe.” 

It occurred to me that before March 2020, some of us had never thought twice
about the whereabouts of our next-door neighbors, or had never put their ear to
the wall to listen closely to the cough of a roommate in the next room. Some of
us had never tipped extra for a delivery, or asked the courier “How is your
family?” and meant it, earnestly hoping to hear good news. Some of us had never
grieved for the owner of their recently shuttered neighborhood joint, bought
fresh groceries to fill a refrigerator they’d never take from, or grieved the
death of a stranger. Some of us have never shopped for an elderly colleague, or
voted for someone else’s interests, or inconvenienced ourselves because it very
well might save someone else’s life.

But after March 2020, many of us, many more of us, learned to do these new,
scary things under the heavy weight of a violent, deadly disease that’s killed
more than 2 million people so far, and could have claimed many more lives around
the globe if scientists hadn’t quickly figured out that a single cloth barrier
could prevent infection.

With no commonality other than this shared, unfortunate reality, we became a
community. With no shared context or commonality other than this reality, people
who never knew one another and might never meet were part of a community and
treated each other as such, wearing masks to prevent themselves from infecting a
stranger, trusting that the stranger would wear a mask to protect them, too. An
organic, unspoken understanding of radical reciprocity, of deep care was there,
as if it had always been.

Nearly global behavior changes occurred in what felt like an instant, masks
becoming an accessory, a welcome requirement. And just as quickly as many of us
welcomed this precaution, there were those who rejected mask wearing over an
idiotic contrarionist impulse, turning themselves into empowered pariahs — real,
living metrics for bad judgment and bad faith.

For many of us, this radical care was and still is new and exhausting. For some
of us, it’s the same system in a new context.

Some of us have always had to press our ear to the wall to make sure a loved one
is still breathing; some of us have always had to evaluate each action through
the lens of how it would directly affect someone else’s life.

If you have had the privilege of being seen as one singular individual, if you
have had the luck of evading trauma, then this expanded definition of community
and its requirements is likely strikingly new to you, and still hard to adjust
to. The impulse to return to normal once we’ve been vaccinated might seem
tempting.

If we’re lucky, this expanded definition of community, this master class in
compassion, is what we will all take with us into the post-pandemic future. If
we’re lucky, we’ll remember that some of us are hungry and are being abandoned
by systems that could feed us all. We’ll remember that our waste alone could
feed an entire nation. We’ll remember not to waste our resources unless we’re
giving them away. We’ll give the woman on the corner who needs a dollar our
dollar. We’ll tip extra because why the hell not. We’ll find new ways to check
on our neighbors, we’ll think twice about what it means to be well, we’ll give
our colleagues grace when they’re late or behind, we’ll bring our children to
work and leave our worries about inconvenienced colleagues at the door.
Regardless of (but with respect to, with an analysis of) our diverse
backgrounds, if we are diligent, if we are thoughtful, if we are daring — this
radical care, this expanded definition of community is what will follow us into
a post-COVID future and stay with us for good.
