CO2

Chained to the wall
Locked in conflict
Iron bars
And all that

They tell me
I have captured
Carbon dioxide
In my body

I can tell you
It don't give fizz
It fizzles out
Even quicker

Pas pétillante
Mais non crémant
Non mousseux
Still here.

Captured by
Circumstance
And brought gently down
Into a frozen meadow.
