Mouthbreather, breathe deeper.
You won't choke on your tongue,
Swollen glands and clammy hands,
Oh, tell me what's the matter.
Tracer of a straight line,
tracing fingers over wallpaper designs
those hallway diamonds see how they shine.
Oh, tell me what's the matter,
you better listen daughter,
then get yourself in the cool, cool water. More from Laura Stevenson
