Thank God It's A Wooden Floor

poor old guy harumphing jellyfish up and out his snout

slapping his ribs and making a rumble

guggling orange juice, hot tea, water, beer, pills chopped out of foil wrappers,

making the process as athletic as possible, peeling off sweaty shirts,

hankies like carnations flattened by slugs,

showering again and again, keeping score, colorful commentary on phlegm,

influenza at full court press....
