Was
gonna write poignantly about sneezes
Air
exits with a jolting tingle
At
over 200 miles an hour
The
tissue strains and billows
Frequently
conceding to the greater force
It
disintegrates into sloppy gooey knotted confetti
Then
I’d dwell a little longer on the spinal alignment
Internal
chiropractor with variable results
Throws
out the back this time, back into place the next
Let’s
not forget the wonderful euphoria of loss
A
dizzy high of vacated sinuses and involuntary spasms
Like
dancing upside down in a hurricane
It
was all so perfect but Garrison Keillor beat me to it
Sure
it was prose
but it was elegant prose
Exhaustive
and conclusive, humorous and insightful
Enough
to discourage the attempt
Long
enough for a contemplative tickle of thought
To
wiggle in fuzzy perfectness around my brain
Waiting
in a cerebral dusty corner
Until
stirred in to action by the vibration of synapse
Words
explode in a scatter on to this page
A
wood based product made of sterner stuff
Just
strong enough to avoid demolition
Dripping
with slimy thoughts intact
