congested 

                                two weeks of chest cold 

laying in bed like a loser 

         still smoking 

                       like an idiot 

drink giant glasses of tea 

mint tea 

    earl grey 

        dandelion

               sleepy time

feed a cold they say 

so off to the store 

 to get groceries 

                        I love a sourdough baguette

  what else 

      the paper bags at the store didn't have handles 

so I threw a fit and the manager 

                          gave me a fortyniners shopping bag for free 

  squeaky wheel!
