Fevers

Burning, freezing
Pulling, kicking
Light switches and stumbling
Stumbling for a glass of
Cranberry juice and then
Collapsing
In a
Heap
And wondering why on earth
It actually
Worked out this time
And not knowing if
The bad part was
Really just
A dream.

Let's just
Hear the music now
And dream while awake
About
The words they're singing
As if
Maybe
The songs themselves can
Make
The Fever
Break.
