Musings from Snot-Infused Hell

My sinuses swollen shut
my throat like sandpaper
my breath highjacked by a sneeze machine
I search for ideas for a story:
Malls turned into colleges
Greta’s new book
Plastic made from food waste
Public art that generates clean power
Indigenous moose hunting
Blizzards in California
I stare at the words blankly
…
I
cannot
think
through
this
haze
Two negative COVID tests
and then a third for good measure
It’s been three years – I had forgotten what it feels like
Despite the urgency
I guess even climate action must wait
for good health to return
