sick days

ugh
i've gotten sick

nose dry but dripping
sinus headache blurring sight
face feels like it's falling off
and now the sensation that there are daggers in my throat
every single time i swallow

it's seems to be going around new york
just part of the joy of autumn's arrival, i suppose

what fun

i'm taking a few days off from work
nobody wants their chopped salad with a side of nasal mucus

plus, it's time to rest and recover

i'll see you when i'm well
