Sternutation
A sneeze is a breeze
that rapidly frees
the germs that are trapped in the throat.
The pollen of trees,
although welcome to bees,
can trigger a sneeze when afloat.

The eyes often cry.
The heart tries to die.
The body convulses with force.
The water-drops fly
until nothing is dry
if no one will alter their course.

When one sees the sun
or colds have begun
or when there is dust in the air;
when allergies run
sternutation has fun
and victims are caught unaware.
