There was a fire inside your body that met the fire that blanketed the dining area You walked away before the skin on your toes melted away and evaporated into the air forcing people to inhale the dust and choke I pass the men’s bathroom and feel an itch down my throat Left right left right I keep walking but then my chest gets tight and I am no longer able to breathe My throat becomes a vacuum cleaner neglected to be emptied out Unable to feel the slight movement of air up against the accumulation of your anxiety
You couldn’t wait for me outside the bathroom
But why am I the one choking?
