The Advice Someone Has To Give

People tell me to write, to dance, to sing,
always like no one is reading, watching, or listening,
but I fail to take even a breath,
because of a young child
struggling
to inhale across the opposite end of the
world.

Implied lack of relation between
activities — I can take this
one step
further.

Breathe like no one
is dying; advice someone
has to
give.
