Sick

So I may be sick so

what’s new, what’s

extraordinary, what

makes me get out of

bed each day, after I’ve

cursed and snoozed the

morning alarm for at

least a half an hour? I

was sick yesterday and

it didn’t stop me from

going to the store or

wondering if you needed

new socks. Being sick is

only temporary, no matter

the end, so why change

today and leave life before

it’s done? I’m not a

microwave kind of girl. I’ll

stay in the oven until my

bits are crispy if it means

more time with you.

Not Quiet Any More
