The funny thing about
catching a cold in the head
is how terrific you feel
while it’s happening.
Everything seems brighter
you feel vibrantly warm
and alive (which is because
your body’s ramping up defenses
and first-responding to
its viral assailants).
But soon enough it happens:
that first big sneeze
that comes out of nowhere.
Then it’s off to the races
and your nose is running.
