swallowing
raze
when
the
sack
of
meat
you've
been
saddled
with
grows
exhausted
enough
that
something
as
simple
as
the
contracting
and
relaxing
of
muscles
moved
by
your
mind
becomes
an
elaborate
undertaking,
you
might
find
yourself
attempting
to
swallow
your
daily
zinc supplement
only
for
the
pill
to
still
its
descent
halfway
down
your
throat
.
after
all
your
best
efforts
fail
to
free
the
solid mass
of
medicine
from
its
unlit
prison
of
soft
tissue
and
spit
,
you'll
think
of
a
cat
coughing
up
a
hairball
and
instinctively
vomit
varnished vitamin
into
the
air
,
the
same
way
milk
left
your
mouth
when
your
body
was
too
new
to
know
what
it's
now
learning
to
forget
forty
years
too
soon
.
