Giving (Dying in the Summertime)


 

You can't go outside today

because of the smoke-filled sky

I'm dying in the smoke

I'm dying in the summertime

I will give myself to the stink of rotten fruit

My eyes will go out like grapes gone bad

The filthy air will slink down your throats--my throat--

and into our nostrils

giving us

cancer

(Do you wonder what I cost you?)
