flu like symptoms
yesterday I had flu-like symptoms
let the aches and pains consume me
slid into the misery with gusto
laid away the day in a recliner
sometimes alternating to the couch
I was not human, I was a sickly whickly
feeling sorry for myself, and yet,
resting profusely, odd for me

Symptoms of Age-Male
I've been told in terms
of descriptive measure,
describing a gland
not my tool used for pleasure.
Huge and ginormous
are two they do use
as explained up above
so as not to confuse.
Urologist speaks
of this particular gland,
not shared by you women,
exclusive to man.
When bigger is better
as some who may state,
but not when it comes
to a man's prostate.
With age will come symptoms,
for

Upheaval Symptoms
Life is inherently difficult. It is its cornerstone
Awakened, striving to tie up all wear and tears
Respect you've given, the kindness you've shown
Will still offer me vigor and be my exulting gear?
Awakened, striving to tie up all wear and tears
To be truly human, fully conscious, and awake
Will still offer me vigor and be my exulting

Inhale
Inhale
my heartbeat slows,
blood sluggish
through stenotic vessels
unwilling to expand,
to breathe
to let blood flow
untenable, this suffocation
this dampening
it speaks of tired eyes,
of stolid limbs,
of stultified need
torpid blood,
when will you give up
your self-imposed stricture,
your closely guarded fear,
your wariness
and inhale

Warning Signs
sharp sound of church bells
on a cold crystal clear night
warns heaven and hell
to try harder to do right
not give up on the good fight
strong gusts of north wind
ominous clouds now hover
no good they portend
bad time to feel hung over
makes good sense to find cover
cannot seem to breathe
chest seems filled up with cement
just able

Covid Symptoms
By Franklin Price
05/19/2020
Looks like from the latest news
Covid symptoms not the same
The old ones have lost interest
So put new ones in the game
At first it took your breath away
And gave you quite a fever
Showed up in the old folks
The over sixties were receivers
Those with pre-conditions
Were the most prone of the lot
So we shut down

Dignify Me
I’ve been here before
Knowing what to expect
Or so I had thought
This time, I’m perplexed
Similar exterior
I gave little thought
But the inside is backwards
I, surly, am lost
This was not the first time
I assure you, I’ve felt
That I’m losing my mind
Losing touch with myself
The crowds were blurred
My feet were planted
They knew, where they were
And took it for granted
