it hit my eyes first

and they started to water

and upon every inhale

it burned my nose, my throat

and we heard another go off

a loud bang

and more filled the room

and i heard my brother

wheezing, choking

the sounds of death

i crawled over to him

trying to avoid

the suffocating gas

and put his head

under my shirt

for protection

i could barely open my eyes

and held back the vomit

as we sat there

waiting to die

i finally mustered

the strength

to yell

“OPEN A WINDOW”

the dealer laughed

and opened one

and it vacuumed out

into the world

saving us

until Mark would

inevitably fart

another horrific fart
