The ER Flu until 3:00 AM
As I woke up this Sunday morning,
I did not account all the mourning.
I knew I was a mess,
But still I got dress.
Walked myself to the youth group,
Where we Sunday regroup.
As we begin to sing,
My head started to go bing! bing!
I felt like throwing up,
As I managed to stand up.
Excused myself and left.
One step at a time, told myself: right, left
By the time I got up to the dorm,
My life was not at norm.
I felt cold and yet hot.
Not only did I see spots,
I knew that I had duties to fulfill,
First I called John Maly to cancelled,
Then Garrett, to Johny Boi, to Brandon Torres
Begging them please, I won’t be there
I tried to first sleep it off
Closed the blinds, lights all off
As the minutes turned to hours,
I wanted to eat some flour.
First I missed lunch, now dinner
Which is more finer?
Missing meals did not hurt like my body aches
From toe to head, I was cracking: cold, hot and chills
The more I tried to sleep,
The colder I get, “Yep!”
But in actuality, I was burning
People were passing out and in
First come Daniel Wrage
Then Joe Koo
To James Chung
Practically all the men wing
During those long less hours
The Word of God, I did not devour
Neither did I go to prayer
All to say is: I was not humble
I tried to fight alone
Even with broken bones
Life was at too fast of a paste
For me to even slow down to rest
With full intention, I ignored God
‘Cuz He was became my check list
I “do” Him out of academics
I did not want the intellects
I was sick of knowing about God
I wanted something more than talk
But I did not know how to go about
Yet, I was not even slowing down to doubt
God slowed me down so that
I would eat real meat
Drink real water
From He, the real Giver
Right about 11:00 PM, my hero
God provided is named Josh Masiko
Busted through the door,
Then kneeled to the floor.
Little did he know
That the head that he was feeling was Bo
I guessed it burned his hand
So he made me put on my pants
Slapped on my socks, striped on my shoes,
Dragging me down the stairs,
“Taking me where?”
“The ER”, even though I said, “No!”
By then, it was too late,
‘Cuz Jonny already started
His car as we rolled out the exit,
One asked, “Are ya’ll goin’ snowing?”
No comment did I made
I was so hot and yet I was so cold
As we drove, my Masiko made phone calls
And filled papers for the front desk.
They had us wait,
I felt just like dying:
‘Cuz my body was falling apart
I was struck with darts after darts
I don’t know if the ER was conserving energy
‘Cuz they walked me into the dark
Or simply the lights were broken,
I told myself it was part of the swine flu prevention.
As the nurse asked simple questions,
She took my tempo
Measured my blood flow
And told me, “You have a fever Bo.”
Then, they made us wait again.
As the PM crossed onto the AM zone,
More Peoples disappeared
Both weird and normal then reappear.
By the time I got a room with a bed,
My whole being hurt so very bad
But after a shoot here and there,
I only remember the cute nurse tender care.
The doctor poked my nose for a test,
While the nurse drew life from me: yes…
They said it was for curing pain
Yep, they are right, my arm and nose still hurt the same!
I almost got a ticket from security
Because I did not have my identity
But, Masiko, my hero
Told them that this is Bo!
Who flu to the ER test
Still, Mr. Security had to check
With the awesome Chuck
By the time he let us pass,
I almost out passed
When I laid down, little did I know
That time will fly and flow
Which is three days ago.
In bed where I laid low,
I still have two more days in the cell
Before the nurse will let me use any gel
So that I may not look frail…
