I Have Six Names And None Of Them Fit In My Mouth

“Smoking is now a secret activity.

I cannot take my mask off, therefore destroying my lungs is now illegal. I am stressed, meaning I want to smoke more, and whenever I find the immeasurable courage to huff and puff my way through a cigarette, my heart races a though I was to be arrested any moment now.

And that’s how this city’s broken promises imbues itself in even the tiniest acts. This is when I realise how the ever expanding grasp of control reaches even the most mundane corners of one’s life.

I mean, this city has been broken in more ways than one.

I mean, this city is being reshaped in every way possible.

Down to its molecule.”
