buying stock in Kleenex

after giving myself
seven
covid
tests, just to be sure i'm
not infected
with the world's 
favorite and most
recent plague,
i go onto wedmd
to figure
out my cold.
head cold,
sinus infection,
the common cold?
my personal favorite.
but
what's making me blow
my nose
ninety times
a day
no fever, no sore throat,
just congestion
in the upper
region and a feeling
of malaise.
which i feel most days
anyway.
luckily i find in the kitchen
drawer
my stash of
prednisone, and amoxicillin,
from previous
undiagnosed ailments.
plus i have
chicken soup.
two gallons frozen from
a year ago.
should be good, right?
