Being sick is boring,
because I tend to watch too much Netflix,
old X-Files episodes,
so many episodes
that I start feeling like a zombie,
like the zombie
agents Mulder and Skully
encounter in season 2.
But today I felt good enough to go to school,
and on my break between classes
I started reading a book
by my friend Dan Joyce,
and I did not feel like a zombie.
I felt alive,
my head and heart full of life,
and I wanted to go outside,
and so now I am outside,
writing.
For this reason,
I prefer books to Netflix.
