Trapped in a world
Reeking of Febreze and vomit
The incessant bark
Of a toddler's cough
Persists, persists, persists
Persists.
Let's distract you
From your midnight misery
Tele-Toon, Cartoon Network, Tree House
What is your poison, my dear?
Your suffering is now mine
We share a petit couch
Tangled in the flower blanket
Adjusting our bodies
Avoiding the fresh smear of throw-up
And your cough persists,
Persists.
