[Why are the allergies always worse when I'm at home?]

itchy eyes interrupt every try I make to jot down the words that describe every thought that my mind creates

the familiar scent infiltrates the nose irritating to the point of needing meds but not just any, its developed too long despite what's been done to help you...

you manage to alienate me, your once ally in this fight against a foe we all have come to hate for its fantastic ability to divide you, he, she, me..

much like the seasons divide the calendar into four..

"only four tonight", you say you'll take it easy

...clink there goes the cans in the trash as they are downed more, more, you fill each cup ...

the regular dose for you isn't enough.. [ten daily milligrams to combat the allergies that flare up]

seasonally, flare up unreasonably, flare up uncontrollably..

flare up in the form of two clenched fists around a pint of barley and wheat

not randomly, but working on seven nights a week, seven nights where you don't speak, can't speak because you're itching, I'm itching to tell you again, but I'm done..[with this irritation]

done with that seasonal smell that you create that irritates my nose, makes it run...

makes me run...[makes my eyes run too on occasion...]

makes my head hurt, ears explode since that smell often prefaces that feverish yell

you yell about nothing since each night you down that case like nothing...

the season is getting longer, symptoms stronger, the time blurry [or is that just a result of rubbing my eyes with increasing fury?]

fuck it, I'll take a [shot of] benedryl
...maybe I can sleep if I diphenhydra-my worries.
