Crossing the road A large one At that Breathing in The exhaust. Walking up The slope It's the seventh month Paper burning Smoke evolving Past a construction site Dust and dirt Drift past The musty smell Of gas and saw dust Past a factory Past a cement mixer Past a ******* truck Each step Each second My lung capacity Gets Smaller Smaller Smaller.. Something's stuck Between my chest And throat Working its way Up and Out Hold it in Just a few meters More... Gulp in Fresh air In fully To the bottom Of your shoes But still Not enough Makes its way in

Shrunken capacity
Crossing the road A large one At that Breathing in The exhaust. Walking up The slope It's the seventh month Paper burning Smoke evolving Past a construction site Dust and dirt Drift past The musty smell Of gas and saw dust Past a factory Past a cement mixer Past a ******* truck Each step Each second My lung capacity Gets Smaller Smaller Smaller.. Something's stuck Between my chest And throat Working its way Up and Out Hold it in Just a few meters More... Gulp in Fresh air In fully To the bottom Of your shoes But still Not enough Makes its way in
I'm so glad I grew out of the asthma..
