full to its very thinnest membrane
my brain functions .not.

stretching.tearing.pulling

dizzy.ness prevails
while nostrils flowing
my nose screams

!!blow me!!

my head floats away
while crushing my shoulders
its eating my throat and swelling
my glands
nyquil illusions of a grand nite.stand band
with the uppers the downers

orange juice

chicken noodle soup

hot tea

i snuck a shot of whiskey
((but it didn't help me))

i'm begging and pleading
to a god not believed
i plea the

"i don't want to be sick no more"

..plea..
of
all
.pleas.

while tossing and turning
the only sleep
found in a turquoise bottle
i drink more of it than i ought
while dripping and wheezing

*cough*

*cough*

*sneeze*

*sneeze*

*cough*

snuggle in frozen wet blankets
i think i'll try again
.to...

...sleep it off.

*cough*

Quite creative, with an amusing look at the anguish of your ailment! If I didn't know better, I'd say it was the codeine in the cough syrup, but we all know you're just "dripping" in talent. ;)

Clever. Definitely not what I expected from the title. I haven't been really sick in a long time, but you definitely reminded me of how much it sucks. I feel your pain. Glad to hear you're better now.

i feel for you hun, i don't know what was worse when i had something like it for 2 weeks, the horrible antibiotics that didn't seem to do a hell of a lot or the constant balloon head... hope you feel better soon

yeah..raging sinus infection, right now. totally relating to this. only my nose doesn't run anymore because my sinus cavity is deformed and I have scarring on my mucusoidal tissue from the years of allergies and untreated sinus infections..so it all goes down my throat...yummy....I'm hoping I'm cleared up enough to go out tomorrow, but it's not likely...totally, totally loving this..

thanks. i can totally relate to the down the throat, mine's half and half, it sucks. so i'll make you a deal, i'll get better, if you do. its a shame you live so far we could go out together tomorrow nite and not have to worry about gettin each other sick. :) thanks for the comment, hope you feel better soon too. ~ta~

Very entertaining. Ugh, that's a nasty feeling. But the imagery, though unflattering :D was great. Dig it, hardcore. Hey stylet, feel better.

I knew who wrote it just from the title :) I agree with Ainsof, very fun. Becoming somewhat of a trademark of your new pieces, well done yet again TA
