Uncomfortable<\/p>\n
cold and colors<\/p>\n
mundane<\/p>\n
but here I bring<\/p>\n
my solace<\/p>\n
my upset stomach<\/p>\n
my stomach pains<\/p>\n
my body bows<\/p>\n
to the porcelain<\/p>\n
and my sickness<\/p>\n
pours out<\/p>\n
then I wash my hands<\/p>\n
and warm my self<\/p>\n
before I crawl back<\/p>\n
into my cloths<\/p>\n
of comfort<\/p>\n
and safety<\/p>\n
as the world<\/p>\n
turns my stomach<\/p>\n
yet again<\/p>\n
the room that<\/p>\n
holds memories<\/p>\n
of how I was up<\/p>\n
and down and<\/p>\n
up and down again<\/p>\n
simple formula<\/p>\n
no answer yet in sight<\/p>\n
and when I have the<\/p>\n
strength to fix the smells<\/p>\n
I use the head of<\/p>\n
rain to make pellets<\/p>\n
hit my body just right<\/p>\n
working up the steam<\/p>\n
to match the temperature<\/p>\n
just perfect<\/p>\n
whether or not<\/p>\n
I feel good or I don’t<\/p>\n
the moment here<\/p>\n
is always worth it<\/p>\n
gels and washes<\/p>\n
creams and potions<\/p>\n
a longer run<\/p>\n
in the rain forest<\/p>\n
followed by oils and lotions<\/p>\n
and that can at least<\/p>\n
boost my spirits<\/p>\n
if not make me feel better<\/p>\n
this is where I spent my<\/p>\n
week being far under<\/p>\n
the weather.<\/p>\n
