I fear that fever
has given me the power
of X-ray
vision
& that as you scurry about
tending to my condition
I can see right through
your clothing
see your naked....cough.. cough
see your naked...toes.
I am obvious delerious
as I fever & freeze
fever & freeze.
Only when on the road
to getting better
do I realise I hadn't caught
X-ray vision
after all
& that after all
you were naked
all that time
your naked nursing
making me a better man.

Ahhhh yes...the delights of delerium can not surpass the joys of reality!
Seems like THE PROOFREADER - PT.2. Getting better and betterer! Doral

I would like to translate this poem
I think it would not be difficult to put a melody to this piece - it could be a song with a memorable lyrics. Still wonder if it must be bossa nova or just a male voice (of a better man) with a guitar - a true modern bard you remain on this page...
