buried in my nose

Nyquil
hit by a flood

I don't miss the benzos I used to take

swimming through JELLO
head sucks in water

wavering back and forth
head filled with stupid

a journey to sea bottom
under a log

buried

I hear a beeping 
followed by a shimmer

someone's alarm

it was a car, then music, then magic
like a hallucination

I was here, then I wasn't

snot in my nose
I'm not here to impress anyone

thank goodness, today
I might fail right back under the covers

I used to like being sick
