Breathe easy and not in haste
Hastily you might breathe a chunk and choke
The air is full of such particles to avoid
Attracted by the eagerness of haste
Time out, if all seems so overwhelming
Time is only but a passage path
The routes are different
All with their own angles
Ask the man with a rush down the road
How he got his rushes
Breathe easy and not in a haste
Hastily you might breathe a chunk and choke
The repeating lines work well to bring this poem full circle.....
ReplyDeleteI love this poem! It brings 'breath in breath out' to a whole deeper level. Very calming and zen-like
ReplyDeleteLove that ask a man with a rush, how he got his rushes! Very clever poem.
ReplyDeleteI like this stilted wording, Kodjo.
