Sand Paper Throat

Too hot
No
Too cold
Then the pounding, throbbing, bumping, thumping
Right behind my ears and eyes
The taste of iron and bile on my teeth
Runny nose and watery eyes
Hack, and cough, and wheeze
Rasp and writhe
Pause and pant
Oh piss
Oh hell
Dizzy and dropping
No use walking
I've gained three pounds of only water
Cant keep this down
Or that either
I'll eat later
Swallow like sandpaper
Nap again
Repeat
