I’m gasping

Breathing wrong

Forget right

How to get air

And the panic that sets in

I’m drowning I can’t breathe I

Can still count the breaths

Five in five out

It’s all in my head

It’s all

On my chest

    Well I can’t like that at all, but it expresses a trauma that nobody would ever want to have. Maybe expressing it relieves it a little? No, now I think I get it, it seems like how it might feel to have the coronavirus, or be drowning. To empathize with suffering, it might be necessary to actually suffer? I commented recently on somebody’s post on “Failure”: “I almost failed to breathe, sheesh that was a close call.” Failure to breathe is maybe the worst failure you can suffer, but of course it’s all in your head when you just think about it.

    (well, actually it was meant for a 4 ft. 11 girl, covered with surgery scars, with virtually no kidney function, and she just barely manages to walk with her cane; look for Keri-lee Griffiths in your Reader). I decided not to bother her any more, since you came back.

    I’m in a silly love mood. Thanks for looking at my stuff. If my stupid comments get to be too much, let me know and I’ll tone it down or stop.
