two legs and a sneeze

  Before I knew I actually had the flu, I was having episodic moments, in my brain, of feeling other-worldly; there was a pleasant "lightness" I was not accustomed to.  I knew it was possible that I was getting sick, but I was more hopeful that it was part of a transition into a more permanently accessible state of hyper-awareness. I was going to be able to see - no, not just see - I going to be able to see and discern my surroundings with untethered clarity and understanding.  Imagine my snot and fever filled disappointment when I discovered, hours later, the bitter truth that has haunted humanity for millennia; I am human, and a virus is changing the way I feel, and it is not better, or clear, and I don't understand it. 
  Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
