i can't even blow out candles on my birthday

i crave oxygen

high levels

immense creatures

 

bugs as tall and long as me

 

because then maybe i could fit

something in my lungs instead of

scrambling and

suffocating

 

i'm missing ocean oxygen feeding large gills

whales taking up entire seas

bigger, sturdy and solid, trunks of massive trees

encompassing all of me

so i can get some sleep

 

i crave oxygen

the comfort of insignificance

the foggy high of so much air

the masks on the plane

because i'm

crashing
