I want to smile today
Grab my throat between your two fingers
Squeeze under my jaw
Yes, there
Just there
I can feel it like a fresh drink of water
Draining down my spinal cord
I rub eye sockets under a pair of glasses
Nostrils flare
With wide-open mouths and
The presence of CO 2
My oxygen machine cannot process
This
Without a w
Without a will
Without
Nevermind.
