We Are Breathing With Two Nostrils Now

We are breathing with two nostrils now.
That is my new way of saying
“We are cooking with gas now!”
And we are.
Four burners and a griddle,
a broiler and an oven,
but no vent hood for the days we fire them all up.
Maybe that’s why I had a headache.
(No, not carbon monoxide; we let that out the back door.)
My own body was going without a vent hood.
But we are breathing with two nostrils now.
