Phlegm, thick and viscous,
builds up in the back of the throat.
Gagging. Face purpling. Tears pouring.
Finally coughing explosively,
spitting the sticky mess into the hanky.
Ideas, thick and tenacious,
build up in the back of the mind.
Brain quivering. Mind reeling.
Finally erupting,
spewing the inky mess onto the page.
