The Breathe Essays
Almost I am...I&II
I'd be fine except for love.
I'd race with the stars except for my flesh.
I'd find gold if not for my job.
I'd wander into the wilderness if I didn't need shoes.
I'd learn to vibrate if I didn't need help.
I'd be indivisible if not for my heart.
I'd climb into the heavens if I had a ladder.
I'd forget about dying if I remembered how to live.
I'd launch into a diatribe if I didn't have a clue.
I'd break into fits of laughter if I did.
I'd wonder what you meant by that if I were listening.
I'd sleep like a baby if I was one.
