the solution


last night i was going through my top draw looking for a pen or something. could have been a pencil. i noticed a tube of ointment. its fancy name as adco acyclovir- well at least that is how i say it. this particular ointment is a remedy for fever blisters. cold sores. the ugly things some people get on their lips. i remember thinking about the ointment for a good ten seconds before continuing to look for a pen. or pencil.

this morning i woke up with a fever blister. i find this ironic. but it also makes me wonder if sometimes the disease only becomes apparent once you have glimpsed the solution.
