*by Billy Greene*

Do not be a mouth-breather & live   
by the Fox River. At least strive

to be a nose-sniffer & think on  
the like-lavender of a pink dogwood

as to not swallow a stray water bug,   
only to allow a ripe cherry bud

off a calloused branch to cusp your uvula   
& drown your shallow mouth under a

breath of perfume without winged creatures.   
You inhale something like forever

to sing, never choke.
