When a righteous man
is caught with his pants down, it’s
likely he’ll get spanked.

Headache
Accomplished nothing
’til I took Motrin a whip
that tamed this tiger
Sympathy pain
He drank to excess
so why am I the one with
the splitting headacne?
Raveled sleave of care
Fever distorts time.
Sleep the tesseract that jumps
illness to wellness.
You look great
Bright lipstick fools them
into thinking I’m well. No
“How do you feel?”
Senseless
After the illness
taste dulls on the tongue, food just
fuel to run this husk.
Body and blood
Ibuprofen my
food. Robitussin my drink.
Illness my altar.
Fever
I incubate germs.
Feel their heat warp my head, their
chill shake my body.
Head cold
Snot blocked mucus jammed
sinus pressure. Every breath
a pulse of pure pain.
Writer’s strike
Reality makes
me sick. Going through laugh track
cop show withdrawal.
