no exception to the rule.

The air is arid.
Get rid of the air.
There is no breathing here.

Escape from your life.

Breathe in that breath
And take a moment as your chest
ascends and descends.

The air is hot entering your mouth
Through your lips,
past your teeth,
down your gullet,
and through your lungs,
it pumps your heart.
You're insides are insides,
and then it's all out.

Hot.

The air is the same as before. but —

It's properties are different
And you are as well.
Different.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah.

Breathe in that breath
And take another moment.
Let it escape you.

The thought. whatever. the life before you.
And after? Sure.

There is no breathing when it's all done.
Because it's done.
All of it.

Goodnight. or bye. or whatever. It's all the same. And none of us are different.
