the head
aches
the legs
stiffen
the neck
creaks
and cracks
and then
the lungs lengthen
the sinuses stuff
and the eyes water
and all i want to do is be outside
and all my allergies want me to do
is stay inside a bubble forever
[or at least for the length of spring]
but it’s my favorite season
how dare how dare how dare
the sinus pressure
building behind my eyes
feels fizzy
like a soda pop
lightly shaken
just waiting
to gently explode
i can feel the allergens
tickling my throat,
attacking my everyday systems
and interrupting,
creating weeping eyes
and pained heads
and sinuses that feel like
explosion is imminent
and the fogginess is permanent
but i know, the next cold day,
or non-pollen-drop,
i’ll be fine
i’ll be fine
i’ll be fine
[i’m not dying]
the sinus headache is strong
this morning
and putting pressure on my sleep glands
to nap nap nap
all day
