“Common cold” my ass
This virus I’ve caught
Has me tied in knots
Still have to work
In a fog of cold meds
Can hardly get out of bed
Can’t write for shit
I want to smell that orchid
But it’s just Vicks VapoRub

Hello Wild Walk #writers
Today I give you something that I am horribly allergic to. Gather enough of them in a room and I can't breathe.

So young but I remember
The ones I trusted, loved
Walked me to the chamber
Men in robes surrounded me
Dragging me to the center
They tried to drown me
From under the water
I heard angry shouts
In unknown tongues
They said I was forgiven
But I never knew
For what

A sign of your health
Shimmers golden in a cup
First ask in a full work up
To check for infection
And things that shouldn’t be
They always want your pee
Not like anyone likes it
It’s taken with disgust
So please, just let me flush

So tired, but still awake
Remembering my day
And the amount of #side-eye
Glances that came my way
What did I do wrong
Could I change what I say
Did I offend or embarrass
Still worrying as I lay
My #measurable mistakes
Those thoughts that betray
Tomorrow, no one cares

Always tangled and tripping
Ankles trapped in my pants
Feet caught on my cats
I can’t walk straight
Try to dodge what’s in my path
Not like a soccer match
I’m just not that graceful
Instead, I imagine it’s like
Seeing Wyle E Coyote strike
At least I’m good for a laugh

Or I suppose evolution
That humans don’t reproduce

If that creep on the bus
Released a cloud of spores

I'm mildly surprised Joe Rogan is still alive. He seems like he should have gotten his dick stuck in something on a bet and died of sepsis by now.

A childhood dream
Perhaps a nightmare
The leprechauns came
Small in stature
They’d crawl on up
Land on my chest
With a magic bag
They’d steal my breath
It kept me awake
Paralyzed in bed
On children’s breath
They fed
I guess my mom shouldn’t have let me watch Cat’s Eye

coax leaves
from the limbs
that held them

they jump,
they fall -
some destined
