Car Rides

by Zaayn Beamon

an invisible cloud enters my lungs, i take a deep breath, accepting all that it is

and will be.

it’s unfortunate that the used puffy existence calms me to a certain degree, yet it

also strains and clogs my nose.

it’s the feeling of drowning and never getting air, yet feeling as calm as ever.

two very different feelings. twisting into the air.

taking a hold of me.

car rides.
