lying in bed all day
with a tickle in my throat
watching Veronica Mars reruns
I feel like a little kid again.
With no classes to skip,
no work scheduled,
I can let my eyes close again and again,
slip down into that warm cocoon
but with no parent to take care of me,
no one to remind me to go to bed--
even though I slept til 2--
no one to remind me to eat--
more than the two popsicles i had
to ease the itch that just won't cough out--
I have to get up
I have to buy groceries
do laundry
generally be a grown-ass woman.
Every once in a while,
however,
it's nice to pull the blankets over your head
and shut the world out for a day.
