Gross

by Chris Sorrenti


By the third day
it gets to be unbearable
despite the steady
reassuring hum
audible in every room
perhaps the solution
part of the problem?

While the enemy at the gate
still manages to creep in
aided with the heat
of any and all appliance

A walk outside to the store
after hot shower
brings a thick coat of moisture
over entire epidermis
carrying the load
once back home
time to peel off that second skin

Tonight’s forecasted low of 15
welcome news
along with half hour exhausted nap
bite to eat
celebration with wine and tokes
