a wheeze and a whistle

every breath was a wheeze
sometimes it sounded more like a whistle
who was making this sound?

I stilled myself the best I could
my nose was whistling
my mouth was wheezing

two perks of being an asthmatic
add the perk of having to struggle to breathe
and you are part of this party
