In One Breath

[MellindraX]

See, this is half a little showcase of my meager poetic talent, half a challenge to the Kittens who may dare. Take a deep breath, and start reading it quickly out loud without pausing for line breaks. You can take a breath when you reach a *period*, not a comma. Without a period, don't take a breath and don't pause your reading. Make it quick!, and good luck...



Everybody wants to fall, needs to slip

Stream wending its way on the hill

Tops on top but bottoms to the bottom

Dwellers creeping, slowing to a crawl

Space is always expanding, moving forward with a jump

Rope pulling tight, cutting off the blood

Flow of a movement cut in half

Way to the supermarket, the All and Every

Body wants to fall, needs to slip, to stumble once in their life.

Weren't you paying attention?

Stop getting sidetracked and listen up

Side by side waiting to meet their death

Toll.



If you made it, congratulations! If not, you can go back to the start and try again or give up now, up to you

It is my solace, my home, the place where my walls crumble and fall away, because no one can know who I truly am. Thank goodness for the Internet, preserver of sanity! -Unknown

Elizabeth, that's pretty damn cool.

I admit I did have to read through it about 2 and a half times though

That is pretty good
