[1097] really only one thing that worries me, and that
is the prospect of being ^{[↑]throttled},
if I should ever happen to
shorten further.[1098] Asphyxia![1099] I who
was always the respiratory type,[1100] witness
this thoracic cage (?) mine still, together with
the abdomen.

[1101] I who murmured, when
I remembered, at every inhalation,
Here comes the oxygen again, and each time
I breathed out, There go the impurities,
the blood is bright red again.

[1102] The blue face.[1103] The obscene protrusion of the
tongue.[1104] The tumefaction of the penis.
[1105] The penis, that's a surprise, I'd forgotten
I had one.[1106] What a pity I have no
arms, there might be something to be
squeezed from it.[1107] No, tis better thus.

[1122] That's what I tell myself.[1123] And I add, in
a passion, Slough off this immortal
inertia, it's out of place, in this society.
[1124] They can't do everything.[1125] They have put
you on the right road, they have led you
by the hand to the very edge of the precipice,
