My flu knows no bounds.
I wheeze, cough, and blow my nose—

Fatigue and achiness
make my limbs feel so heavy.
Ennui brings on flu?

Have a summer cold —
you know the kind — fever,
chills, can’t sleep at night.

Picked up the flu while
in France — don’t really know where —

Kid home with the flu —
I hold my breath around her
hoping to stay well.

Sick as a sick dog
yesterday — spent all day in
bed in fogginess.

I have the flu — its
so pedestrian — I wish
I could sleep all day.
