We Take For Granted:
Lungs Filling, In – Out …
How Respiratory Come About
But Resuscitation To Our Mouth
Keeps Soul, from Going South …
But Just Imagine:
Stitch-in-Side, Pleurisy
Emphysema or Drowning At-Sea!
Pneumonia, Bronchitis or Oxygen-Gone
And Asthma, are Just a few Suffocating Wrongs
Of Breathing Passages, Swollen … Blocked
Adenoids and Snoring, Wake-Up… Pop-Pop!
Try Pillow-Smothering, or Panic-Attacks
Choking, Gasp? … Need Gas-Mask?
Ahh … Short and Sweet and Necessary
Hold and Count to 30 … In A Hurry?
If It Stops … Then Start To Worry
… All This, is Very Airy-Scary …
… The Brevity of Breath …
Had Enough?
(Loud) Puff – Puff
I Know, It’s Never Enough Fellow
Whether Gulping-Deep, Nor Panting-Shallow
Some Have Quick – Spurts
‘Til Side Hurts
Hacking Cough … Then The Wheezing
Can’t Catch A Breath … That’s You Leaving
… Next Stop Death … or Joint-Machine-Breathing
… Are You Receiving? …
… The Brevity of Breath …
“ … Breathed Into His Nostrils, The Breath of Life … “ (Gen.2: 7)
Morning Breath? … Relax Honey … It’s Just Your Wife …
… Checking On The Brevity of Breath …
