*** It’s the Most Agonizing Awful Pain Ever!!!!!!!!!
(Have you got an aspirin?)
Unless it involves writhing on the floor
(Or another appropriate surface)
Feeding the ducks, explosions behind the eyes
Flailing at the end of a cosmic centrifuge
Shrieking in pain hearing a butterfly
Floating around some twenty miles away
Grasping at bottles of futile agony pills
And begging for a merciful end to life
Unless it’s all of these, and sometimes more -
It’s not a migraine
