lice

I should be sipping chardonnay with you,
watching the candlewax build its limestone quarry.
But I itch all over.

It’s hard to be inhibited when a belittling affliction
salts the wounded scalp like some medieval torture.

I get more primitive by the minute.
Mmmm, to scratch is natural.

Will you squat behind me, apeman,
and ogle my follicles?

I've gotten lice and round worm, both of which are embarrassing to admit in any other forum but here. When raised to such high form I'm now wondering when I can get my next bout of mosquito bites or a nasty sunburn.
