You’ve started to feel a thickness in your throat; And you’ll automatically force down that thing that’s lodged there anyway. Next your throat starts to feel tight and so you rub it roughly; swallow for good measure too. You just can’t seem to help yourself.

You couldn’t.
You still can’t.
You probably never will.
So you cough instead.
