breathe.

by Andrew S Adams

after a time,
this air gets stale,
and thoughts reduce themselves
to basic instinct.

it is in these moments
that i exhale; that i then
in turn, inhale.
yes, take a deep breath,
as this is only beginning.

carbon dioxide it toxic as
the moment you realize it;
it is not a particularily happy thought,
however it's the only chance you posess.

breathe:
stop. or start.
