Clamminess
has returned
This
is strange because
It
was gone for at least 5 days
Now
my roommate’s employer
Is
playing games about when she
Can
return to work
Why
would anyone purposely mess with
Another
person’s peace of mind especially
When
the world is collapsing in on itself?
Where
are all the people we can turn to
And
why is it not okay for us to express our feelings
Using
one’s disability against them is dirty pool
Two
days ago the diarrhea started again
This
time worse than it was a week ago
I’m
still not short of breath, thank God
Pushing
against the status quo squeezing me like there’s no tomorrow
Starting
to feel like when my mother passed away and the floor beneath my feet went on
holiday
Friends
I’ve known for thirty years and more dropping like flies as a cloud of
grasshoppers plagues my worried mind.
