Fumes

Everything’s a chore. 
Like blowing up a balloon with your entire soul. 
Maybe it’s toxic mold. 
The toxic gases are like soda caps I collected. 
Rusty chills. 
Breathe in chemicals. 
They collect at the bottom of my mind-scape. 
That’s just chemistry. 
When everything’s a chore. 
Growing toxic mold that glitters like nothing else. 
Fumes. 
Everything’s a chore I’ve already done in a few universes. 
There’s more alternate universes. 
The one I’m in is just fumes.
