I have a hair in my mouth
- towards the back of my tongue
but not quite to my throat -
from I don't know where.
I have spit and I've scraped
with a fingernail, and I've
gagged and I've coughed
'til I'm not sure it's there.
Then I try to distract
and relax, think of some
other thing, something else
something comfortable -
so I started a poem. And
I think that it's gone.
I think that it's gone.
But I want to know.
