For a friend.
Achates! bless you… its called a common cold.

Achates! Bless you…

I sneeze then sneeze again

I think its here you find your friends

the ones who step back…

then frown… [As you sneeze achoo! ]

Then look down upon your hand and scowl

my god is that saliva or my inner thought

I’m sure my gems forget me not

Ah but for the damp patch of the night

Was just a SNEEZE .

    I agree with Leo about the name. A very expressive piece. Achooo!

    Laughing out loud! Achoo… I wonder why people can’t just hold their nose instead of spreading their germs. Thanks for the reminder. I need to call Subway’s and file a complaint. One of the associates kept touching his nose with his glove while preparing the sandwiches. I didn’t notice him doing this when I ordered, but who knows how many times he did it prior to me walking into the place. I think he should have stopped what he was doing and gone to the bathroom and washed his hands thoroughly and thrown those gloves away. this is how people transmit colds and germs to one another. Acchhhhhooooooooooooo! Good one!
