Quick Note

sick with a
semi-cold or
flu bug
(aching limbs and
fatigue)
I’ve
darkened
the room
and lay still
and sore
and all the
activity
of the outside
world
both annoys
and intrigues me
I don’t know
how much longer
to stay in
and if
I go out
just what kind
of trouble
I’m in the mood
to get into

do I need more food
and water
perhaps coffee
a good bike ride?
rest and see
wish away this thing
for yourself
and others
because it is madness
