drowning and breathing are more similar
than you'd think
but drowning is easier
there's an art of effortless
in allowing the water to fill my lungs,
a deadly comfort in the weight
that displaces the emptiness
but remembering to breathe
in and out, in and out, in and out
inandoutinandoutinandout every
moment gets harder, and my lungs
are tired of the effort of emptying
and e x p a n d i n g in this tedious game
my lungs will capsize in this tsunami but
choking on water is easier than choking on air
all I have to do is let the water in,
no resistance required
