into my
mouth
and wait.
it's under just a bit.
i do feel a bit chilly inside.
not quite ninety-eight point
six.
but close enough.
i run up the stairs to see if
i can breathe.
pretty good.
heart is thumping like
a bunny rabbit
not a single cough
or wheeze.
i touch my toes,
the tip of my nose with my
eyes closed.
bingo. i open my mouth
and say ahhh
in the mirror.
nothing there.
i swing my eyes from side to side
looks good too.
i do a quick scan with my hands
to locate any new
body lumps that may have
risen overnight.
nope. clear. i prick my finger
with a needle.
yup,
blood is still red.
i try to remember a few
birthdays
of significant others
i used to know to see if
my memory
is still intact.
oh well.
i couldn't remember
dates
when i was with them
anyway,
but i do find my
keys
and wallet
in the fridge.
for the most part i think
i'll live
another day.
