The common cold


Something appears lodged in my nose. There is a dull
Ache throbbing right down to my toes and I’m struggling
To digest the air. Although the weather is fair, the
Sunshine does nothing but buy me some time in the dark,
My eyes can no longer handle this daylight malark. It
Would seem that my innards are in something of a mess,
I can’t even muster the energy it takes to get dressed
And my sleep pattern is that of a new born child. If only
I could rest for a while. I’m popping medication to try
And ease the force in my nose that’s making it hard
To breathe. It’s been so long I’m trying remedies both
New and old, but to no avail. There is nothing common
About this cold.
