Sniffling Nose

[Lorenzo]

written November 7, 2009


There on opposite table
writes a writer with purple cup on hand
face on book
with sniffling nose
with eyes shielded by glasses black as chairs on floor

With silent observation
with typing sound
with ears that listen
do i reiterate symptoms
into this pen

Alas
does a medical student
write in tones
list in moans
and dots down things
that observe not only rings

Today is good
I smile

Let's just say that if she wanted, i would have sucked the phlegm from her nose so she could breath.
