I breathe
oh, but hardly it seems
this new lung so unusual

The brass is the same brass
the growl is the same growl
but I breathe
I can’t breathe
I breathe
oh, but hardly

And it sings!
The song not so strong
but will get stronger
lungs pushing against lungs
pushing against valves pushing
against tiny metal springs
as I breathe, oh,
but hardly.
