Kidney Stones and a Hurricane (a poem)

Drops of blood micturated,
gale force winds like a brick wall,
and the impending doom of freedom
for three months as classes begin. 

Tethered to my desk,
computer cables whipping me to keep working,
eye splitting glare from the display.
Caffeine induced jitters. 
Did I mention pissing blood and the hurricane?
