It Don’t Seem Too Scary Arlo Merchant
My uncle coughs. It don’t seem scary to most— only to me.
My hands begin to shake, and my mind begins to race. I knew I’d lose him the second I heard that cough and I was right. He blamed it on pollution but we both knew the truth. How could we lose him? Why didn’t he fight longer? He had fought for years. Why not a few more?
But you were just surviving. I didn’t understand that ‘til recently.
