the phrase
under the weather
infuriates me
we are all
subject to
full immersion
in the patterns
blanketing the
entirety of the globe

now i am under
the weather while
a virus runs rampant
an illness not born
of the clear summer skies
nor from encroaching
autumnal shifting
i am multiplicitively
under the weather
when one has literally
nothing to do with
the other instance
of fucking weather

perhaps it is a symptom
of whether or not
the weather in question
is one with which we
weather knowing that
this too shall end or
whether the weather is
a storm brewing inside
of which we weather
whether or not we wish
to remain indoors
