SEA


SON


AL




A BRIEF





To catch 


To catch a virus


To catch a cold


To catch a break


To catch a breathe


Cache is what



Something fresh


Something without harm


Something that expands


Something that fills



The air is heavy


The wind is dark


The clouds are dull


The sun is out


The door is closed


Shut


Compressed


Cramped



In the act of trying  to overcome the lack of


The violence of a body action


The need to create a response


Not desire but the need


Thoughtless reaction


No related to thought ful ness





Somewhere read:


Human take 7.5 million breathes a year


Times that by 80


Want to even imagine


Missing just one


Unable to catch just one


Hacking


Gagging


A violent cough


Physical      


Fighting a infection


A virus


Physical reactions to NO BREATH



You know what it is but


There is that


And again


To sit up all night


All the fear of movement


If it starts again


If it stops


If it stops


Stopped


Just long enough


To catch something


To repeat


To expel  (spell?)


Toss out


Retch


Reach again for something


What part of this is becoming



Part II


They say the only drugs

Are the ones in your system

Right now


Anything else is simple

Augmentation


As in 

This prescription

This mix

This dose

This one

Is Just for you

Justt now

I will wake you out of the

Best sleep ever

To give you another

Best sleep ever


Nto that it cures anytthing

But it does build up a desire for

No pain


If that matters

If that is worth staying for

If that is worth paying for


Look I dont mind being here

Now

But just the other day

That was not the best

Way to meet


And leaving is not so sweet

As described by journals from others

Who seem to be able to heal themselves

Quickly


That said

All is well

Which may be just

Another slow slide into

Everyday


One after another

To what and.


end.
