Pesky violent absorptions, what do you want?
Stop plaguing me with the shrugs and puffs
Which throw a blanket over each sunrise
And demand responses from my full chest,
Side-sagging waterbags and hair-strewn navel.
I’ve no more time for you than I have for jugglers.
What are breaths but functionless, formless tirades
Of a system-driven carbon-hump, reminders
Of the great black?
Get away from me with your heaves.
I’ve been dipped into life like a greasy donut.
Stop plaguing me with the shrugs and puffs
Which throw a blanket over each sunrise
And demand responses from my full chest,
Side-sagging waterbags and hair-strewn navel.
I’ve no more time for you than I have for jugglers.
What are breaths but functionless, formless tirades
Of a system-driven carbon-hump, reminders
Of the great black?
Get away from me with your heaves.
I’ve been dipped into life like a greasy donut.

but the poem is quite nice

Thanks PN!
I can understand what you mean about absorptions. I wanted a word that was more scientific, to take away any preconcieved notions of 'breath' and break it down into a simple action. Breath as an absorption of oxygen into the lungs, no? Anyway, I pondered on it for quite a while...and that's all I had. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks again.
Open your mouth,and I'll kiss you,
and you can see my breath.
Or,
I can give you mouth to mouth.
Your choice.:););)
Heeheehee.....:)
