Aw! Sorry you're sick! Have some icon of awesome!

I didn't comment on the poem because I was concerned about your illness! Oh, my God!

Anyway, lovely poem. I love it, too.

More of my icon of awesome!

I think I love this poem because I heard it for the first time (read by the poet himself) while I was still in college. And I knew exactly what he was talking about.

I actually feel awesome today! I guess the cold medication cut the germs off at the pass. I hope you feel better as well! Stomach flus are basically the worst thing ever. I'd rather have a cold anyday.
