The sneeze has come
like the tension of a storm
I've been waiting all day long
not knowing what activity it might interupt

It tingles up my nose
if I try to coax, it backs away
into my ears and hides in my throat
creating a muddiness of sound and sight.

Finally with spontaneous strenth
it explodes! Momentarily whooshing
a cleansing air flies through
all seven holes in my head.

A euphoric zing runs across my brain
lightning breaching across an electrified field
and with "Gesundheit"
A flash storm clears away the mud.
