Wheeze
----------
can we drag this out some more?
like the sun that fades so slow you never see that if you had been paying attention you'd notice you're sitting in dark
like the death rattle where the breaths get slower and slower and slower and the spaces in between longer and longer and longer and after a while it's just the space inbetween
like the middle age guy at the garage sale, in the letter jacket with the duck's ass hair, riffling through the 45's, and he tells you hey i got a fully functioning soda fountain in my basement, wanna see?
like the cat showing up at the door night after night after locked door night because once we gave it the skin off the salmon, but we are allergic to cats, and plus there's a no-pet clause
like the white dot on the tv getting smaller and smaller but you fall asleep before it's all the way gone, so you never are sure
like the dream you can't shake when you wake
like the dream you don't let yourself have
