THE WAY OUT

Mike Lazarchuk

Once a foreign
Object like a
Sock is shoved
Beyond a certain
Point in the
Throat it becomes
Impossible to
Retrieve
There’s nothing
To grab on to
You just keep
Inhaling it down
Till you suffocate

The body’s gag reflex
Works only to this
Certain point
In the throat
Beyond that the
Sock’s too deep
& you die
