Have you only told the truth?
I know what I have said.
I do not know what you have heard.

Do you know Latin?
Lung comes from the Latin levis or "light"
the Old High German lungun
or literally "the light organ"
so called perhaps because
in a cook's pot the lungs of an animal float
while the liver and heart do not.

I meant what is your occupation?
To evade. To make a living
by staying alive.

How is the weather?
It is hard to breathe today.
Air, as unnoticed as necessary,
often has its way with me.
