chasing ghosts
it begins with a tiny tingle in the throat,
provoking you to get a counterbalance
by taking out of you some wacko noise,
while your body contorts itself, intense
in standard terms, the cough's installed,
the eyes have shed some lordless tears,
from sinuses are trickling salty drops
that your hands wish to wipe them off
everything stings gravely... viable to be
[some allergy], [some common cold], or
[out of the blue], your physique longs for
antiviral medications and multivitamins
[your mind supposes, symptoms confirm],
each part of yours, it'll be chasing ghosts,
it'll edit a whisper with the cough, the hugs
with sneezes, then lull them with hot tea
