Laryngitis

thirty two notes

trapped in my throat

straining to be free

song after song

and each one longs

to be free

but I’m all choked up

I can’t spit them out

my voice is gone

can’t sing, can’t shout

can’t scream, can’t cry

want to weep, want to die

I don’t know how

to speak softly

to use kind words

all I want

is to bitch out the world
