    Two nights ago
    I learned how to share
    the surprise given
    from peer to peer
    all around the city
    on the trains
    on the busses
    I must be so divine
    now, living like a princess
    only getting out of bed
    to eat and drink
    the water as valuable
    as the ambrosia
    offered only to gods
    God, I feel so divine..
    for being so weak and dainty-
    like a princess should be
    but the only power that i can control
    is in my head
    I have to let my body do the rest
    Its been 3 days now
    since i received this gift
    and my symptoms have
    begun and stopped and shifted
    and left me in this bed
    as helpless as a child
    at the mercy of her mother's breast
    but this time alone
    and weary
    but not afraid
    i have 3 days until finals
    and 5 until my flght home
    this is just a simple pretest
    that i am going to ace
    and i will pass this flu
    through my body
    like its nothing
    because its nothing
    like what i've had to face
    before

    Comparing the symptoms of flu to the pampered life of a princess, an amusing antithesis. It opens doors in the farther reaches of mind for other complimentary curves. :)
