The One Hundred Second, Apr. 11, 2011

red eyes watering
a burning itch
want to scratch
unquenchable fire

feeling like sand
poured slowly
driving slowly mad
with irritation

fire spreads
nose hot too
wiping too hard
but still it runs

sneezes explode
hurricane force
rattling brains
adding misery

precious spring
time of renewal
flowers blooming
birds singing

such beauty
so vibrant
so allergic
Zyrtec needed
