Coronavirus Couple

Poem by Damian Balassone (At least they have tests in Australia.—Ed.)

There’s a million-dollar question
I must get off my chest
as we head into the clinic
to take this little test.

So I turn to ask my lover
before we have the checks:
‘If we both have got the virus
can we still have sex?’
