And I call forks 'food rakes.'

Con cada respiración, inhalamos millones de moléculas de cielo, las calentamos brevemente y las exhalamos de vuelta al mundo.

  my rhythm obvious in the ringing rakes,
  and trust in fate to keep me poor and kind
  and work until my heart is short,
  then go out slowly with a feeble grin,
  my fingers flexing but my eyes gone gray
  from cramps and the lack of oxygen.
