asthma returns
goddamn it
it is
4:15 in the morning
why can’t I sleep
because of scratched up
lungs like
nails down a
chalk board
you can rest
with your gold watch
retirement is just
a two day span
I can’t hold my breath
for 30 years
they show movies
to make our
mouths water
it ain’t fair
how we fall in love
with the unobtainable
car alarms going off
fighting in the street
why can’t everyone
sleep or sit still
each breath is loud
and tiring
hot tea helps, soothes
the sun has come back out
be glad for rain
it only makes the sun
that much nicer
the moisture in the air!
makes it feel like the beach
if just for a moment
do I give enough?
