I fear that fever
has given me the power
of X-ray
vision
& that as you scurry about
tending to my condition
I can see right through
your clothing
see your naked....cough.. cough
see your naked...toes.
I am obvious delerious
as I fever & freeze
fever & freeze.
Only when on the road
to getting better
do I realise I hadn't caught
X-ray vision
after all
& that after all
you were naked
all that time
your naked nursing
making me a better man.
*******
Ahhhh yes...the delights of delerium can not surpass the joys of reality!
