Freight train. (January 3)

I shouldn't be surprised.
Everyone else was coughing.
Nine hours in the van didn't help either.

It starts with a tang in the throat
And my voice deepens. 
Then I can't breathe so well.

Then the migraine.

Sometimes it's a spike being driven 
Into the top of my head,
Slightly angled towards center.

Today it's a vice grip,
Squeezing and tightening with every 
Cough
Sneeze
Light
Turn
Tick
Tock.
