Ainnnnnnnnnnn

Ainnnnn

3 by next Monday
okay, but only if this dumb brain worked
and the immune system with its mighty white blood
cells wasn't starting to lose the battle
and the assignments that would do themselves
call me back in a second.
i gotta get to work.
these Monday meanderings are having their effect
on my brain and their little cells
these fingers are heavy while typing
these eyes which i wish weren't closing
and this head. what an epic fail in the
last coupla days. hurting throbbing pulsing
like the slow music coming from the snake charmer's flute
i should have known this was coming.
sneeeezeeeeeeee! Bless me!
that kiss! and those hugs! and all that touching
with Eid Mubarak.
I'd like to build this into a crescendo
but I'm too sick and too stupid to care.
and i think i can only manage
an Ainnnnnnnnnnnn.
