Vivaldi, your Primavera concerto led me to believe
that April and May were something more beautiful
than what they are--open season on noserags.
Stock up on wholesale kleenex,
its fibers steeped in moisturizer (my raw, tender nose!)
and ask for extra napkins at every drive-through,
knowing that at least once a month
I will wipe the inside of my driver-side window with them
(windex, another monthly purchase).
It starts with a tickle, un puoco di polvere naturale
fluttering in my nasal cavity,
sinus pressure crescendo,
an ecstasy of fumbling insieme a fervore,
and an unpleasant surprise in my hand.
Vivaldi, you lying bastard.

First draft
Starnuto is Italian for "sneeze," or so the online dictionaries tell me *crosses fingers*
Preview image is Van Gogh's "Park at Asnieres in Spring."
"An ecstasy of fumbling" is a line from Wilfred Owen's classic "Dulce et Decorum Est." It refers to WWI soldiers scrambling to put on their gas masks, but here I struggle to reach a tissue of some kind before my face explodes.
