allergic to the world

Most fun things are not fun for me
I don't dance or smoke or drink
Masturbation gives me a hangover
Pretty much all aerobic activity does
Going outside gives me a hangover
Grass, trees, and flowers are not my friend
Gluten and milk give me a hangover
As does yeast and aged food
Perfume doesn't wait for the next day
Neither does bleach or ammonia
Cleaning my house raises dust
Living in squalor grows bacteria
My health is a tightrope of avoidance
Treatment over the counter medicine
Living within the boundaries of my body
Finding my own special way to enjoy life
In a world I'm allergic to.
