after the blizzard
a touch of the flu
and unbelievable levels
of phlegm building up
yeah, this is
a great way
to spend an evening
trying to spit out
some mucous
sticking to your throat
don’t know what I did
to deserve this
just know that
it’s not a nice thing
to endure
either on paper
or on computer
it’s not a very pretty sight
to behold
