Fancy Pants Breathing
Lori Sokolowski
Crunching and belittling
The battering just leaves me
The glowing cascade of dim
Lights reaching
The dust-covered air
Giving fancy pants breathing
Catch it
Catch it if you can
Fetch my breath for me
Here we lie suffocating
Glistening
Memories fade
The sky closes in
The world stops pretending
Barely living
It's late at night and I can't sleep
Just keep scrolling
It's late at night and I am
Sweating through my sheets
It's time, it's time to change
It's time, it's time to change
It's time, it's time, it's time, it's time to change
