I can't talk, so I can't work. The higher register of my voice is just a squeak. A dramatic dog call. A whistle on the inhale. I thought it was tobacco, but my friends caught the heavy head and burning skin. So I'll go back to inhaling slow suicide soon. Do you think it's **** The yellow teeth and hands. The putrid smell. Signing over your geriatric lungs to a devil that lets you breathe for a moment. The chef whistles tunelessly, infuriating and constant. An asthmatic making music. I think the rumours are making me ill. None of it's true and nobody cares. Today is grey. It's raining in August and nobody is here. I'd bake a cake but I can't make cake, I'd take a drink but that would be silly.

Whistling on the Inhale
I can't talk, so I can't work. The higher register of my voice is just a squeak. A dramatic dog call. A whistle on the inhale. I thought it was tobacco, but my friends caught the heavy head and burning skin. So I'll go back to inhaling slow suicide soon. Do you think it's **** The yellow teeth and hands. The putrid smell. Signing over your geriatric lungs to a devil that lets you breathe for a moment. The chef whistles tunelessly, infuriating and constant. An asthmatic making music. I think the rumours are making me ill. None of it's true and nobody cares. Today is grey. It's raining in August and nobody is here. I'd bake a cake but I can't make cake, I'd take a drink but that would be silly.
