Dadadada I’m so happy br Got a text message br Which cured me like tranquilizers. br The magical reaction is filling up my bones; br Charming my instability, br And balancing my lack of empathy. br Now I’m grinning like a sick br Non-manic depressive. br br “School closed for two days. br Tell the others, br See you on Monday.” br br Bwahahaha br Many gratitudes to br The forests in Sumatera br Thank you for burning br Yourself down, br And letting the haze br Shroud my city. br br (And the doctors are making a lot of money too) br br I’m coughing br My eyes are twitching br I’m tasting the smokey air br And my throat is sore br But I’m not taking this smile off, br Na ah! You can’t make me. br br Woo-hoo br How nice br Many intangible benefits br I can exploit. br No need to scream for attention; br (I'm sick, baybeh!) br And br Of course I will exaggerate for sympathy! br br Ahh yes, br Being unwell is so liberating sometimes. br br (I can't wait to hide under the blankets)br br Lara W.
