Sick

My brain is a window,
Broken by a baseball.

My throat;
Like a claustrophobic man-
Locked in an elevator.

My pallet tastes of nothing.

With eyes unfocused
I walk and talk through chapped lips
And pale complexion.

My illness torments me
From rise to set
Although-

-it's not a big deal.

Just the common cold I guess.
