stork daddy light my breath, hold it
suddenly exhalation is this force -
traced in smoke,
a helpful pathology.

the only time some of us watch our
breathing. five minutes here,
five minutes there, back to work.

that american meditation.
a slower way of suicide,
like all breathing is.

and if i live in a society
that wants me to wheeze.
well, i'll hold those fuckers to it.

knock it back, like a closing time stamp,
it burns then warms.

and if i live in a society
that wants me
not all there -

fuck em, i'll hold them to it.
