You do you,
don’t just watch and criticize.
Don’t just complain and whine.
You do what you have to do,
figure out how to get them done,
and move on.

Phenomena
fascinating things continue to surprise me:
I cannot smell scents nor discern flavors
no more perfumes, fruits, and sweets,
perhaps to do with nervous system, I think
lower back and hip had been aching
left big toe had been tingling
back kidney pain had subsided
yet coughing and congestions persist
head feels like a balloon under water
I wonder what all these mean
fascinating things continue to surprise me

Progression
it’s undeniable, pain in my back flanks
dark shadows around my eyes like blanket
no matter how much I drink this water tank
I sweat profusely, yet I won’t let go this jacket
coughing become vomiting, without anything
coming out except for gluey phlegm
my mind is a slightly drunken blueberry jam
so breathing has never been so manual
when will it arrive, the end eventual?

Description
morning starts early drenched in sweat
nostrils and mouth are dry filled with dust
swallowing saliva only pains the throat
occasional coughs; convulsion of abdomen
and chest, cannonballing white-yellow-green
sticky slimy pieces of phlegm into my palm
squeezing my head, pressuring my eyeballs
congestion in nose, forces breathing harder
sweat dripping down at seemingly OK temp
but it’s too cold to take off this light jacket
time feels constant yet passes too quickly
suspected cognitive confusion slightly
drank so much water, but I wouldn’t stop
tingling numbness at third, fourth finger tip
fascinating phenomena is happening
I wonder what tomorrow brings
