Until Tomorrow
I’ve ducked and dived
I’ve tucked and rolled
Yet somehow, the germs
have filled my head
like expandable squirts foam
and the tissues have
absorbed enough of me
to make a clone
If only we had a machine
That ran on snot
I could sell my liquid
gold and retire to the woods
embracing the good life
until then
the cotton wool brain
will rest again
until tomorrow

Thoughts
I did well to avoid it for so long but I regret to inform you that I have a cold. The poem must still be written and so must the thought. So this is that and that is this.
I love this picture. Life imitating art imitating life. I swing between the two extremes of working hard to produce something creative and relaxing most of the time.
