I Have To Breathe Something
April 25, 2008
Fire, Collapse, Chaos, Quiet.
I have to clear my mind.
What has happened?
Breath.
What is happening?
I have to breathe.
Fire, Smoke, Panic. Quiet

A contest entry for: A poetry contest on Allpoetry.com with the prompt: "I wanted to breathe smoke".
It became sort of an uncharacteristically dark piece capturing the experience of someone in a collapsing building, like the twin towers collapse on 9/11/01.
I have to clear my mind.
What has happened?
Breath.
What is happening?
I have to breathe.
Fire, Smoke, Panic. Quiet
