Clouds settle heavy on my chest guess I'm unused to this thin air placing me closer to heaven I don't know what to make of all this perfection the proximity makes me feel small and ugly like unripe crop; firm corn in the mouths of fools this place can see right through me *** eKY Flood Relief Annotation 9/1/22 I once watched some boys fishing off the side of this bridge.
