ASTHMATIC ROMANCE

In the dry air
My finger smelled
The unspoken task
Of asthmatic romance
The asphyxiation
Of the ruined inhalation
I was coughing up chunks
Of my damaged lungs

I swallowed without sugar
All afternoon
The first day of summer
Always happens in June

Baby I hear you wheezing
I got my hand right here on your heart
Its still beating
Its still beating
And its time for your inhaler
It’ll make you feel good yeah
And will go over the falls
Over the falls
I’m going over
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

In my cocooon
You left a clue
A single cigarette butt
But you kept the nicotine
My silent scream
Remained unseen
Like anevil perfume
Like a vapor of doom

I swallowed without sugar
All afternoon
The first day of summer
Always happens in June
