Per request.
1.
A song, the high tones,
and the way it droned down into lungs
the first time ever, in the hail,
trickling that sharp and perfect.
Gasp. Not with amazement, or
with pain, but for the sake of the
first real breath in weeks.
2.
All the oxygen in the world, lost!--
and it took an hour to recover.
Thickness ached into the neck,
to be grabbed by the shoulders and shook
as though by cheap rollercoasters
with icy tracks. Stop the hail, stop
rain or anything thats not air.
Breathe. There's only a little left
of those lungs, breathe like
you were a good kid after all.
-Tay Arrow Sherman.

"How can I tell the difference
between sanity and insanity? You
think in a locked room there's
sanity and insanity? Anyways,
I don't know if there are any
children anymore. Maybe they
went out of fashion."
