The cabin fever came suddenly
and the insane amounts of liquor
leading to that sallow night-- well
it certainly didn't help, especially
the immune system seemed quitting
and death was near, but appeared
So distant. Hunched over
The toilet and crying in loud whispers
which echoed in my own ears
and the brain bounced from
wall to wall. Refraining from dying
a chore, so surviving was success.
