bad or evil or whatsit?

just sleep
and sleep
and turn off the alarm
and sleep.
the cough is gone
the rasping rattle in the chest is gone
it cannot even be provoked any more.

Just carry on sleeping, for twelve full hours.
who said antibiotics were bad or evil or whatsit?
they are not.
when the right one is found, and it works.

Get up, make a cup of coffee
the son has returned from his excursion
sit in the sitting room in the night clothes (¡disgusting!)
but never mind.
The son returns from his morning excursion.
Read the news, get the impression that the queen of hearts has found her male counterpart, wild threats and indiscriminate anger.

The cat is up and happy.
It is bright day, bright high cloud.
There is the sound of a circular saw outside, people are still working on the building site.

Make a second cup. swallow the morning's antibiotic pill, must finish the course.

And hope that the bronchitis never comes back.
