AIR QUALITY

An airs-breath... constant cost free consumption
in.. out.. the body's automatic process
mixed in masses... endless quantity... dubious quality.

Available to all mankind... on-tap.. meter-free.. a breath of life
a 'star-graded'... ***** commodity - 'oxy-gems - or - oxy-germs'?
green glade fresh   urban-stale  city - 'soiled and slick' or industrial recycled.

Vast air pockets - float - clouded with allergic menace
invisible - gas-chambers - airborne carriers of disease
breathe... wheeze... sneeze... agitated tubular air-ways.

Air-conditional guarantees are a - 'given' respiratory requirement
'easy' - un-measured promise - household ventilators become - 'mandatory'
air filtration will be supplied - utility company - of course!!!... AIR-U.K.

Canned-Air... Swiss Mountain Fresh - now out-sells bottled water
Masked faces.. virtual reality prisoners... 'air-locked'... 'air-tight'.
slow release smog... man's latest legacy... the ultimate pollutant.

john a hirst

written after allergy tests show my lung capacity further reduced by pollution and man-made allergies - and a report that air pollution has doubled in just 5 years.

no wonder I can't breathe at night.

Even though the Doc says your getting worse I'm still believing because we know what God can do. I hope you can get some clean air in your house unless you probably already have a lot of air filters, is oxygen being pumped in to your house or is that feasable? Your a warrior Johnny hang in there!!!!!



peace and love,
God Bless Johnny,
Mariah XO

thanks so much Nicky

because the poetry collection will go to some NHS Hospital Library's and 'self-help groups do you think this poem could be included

the collection has to really have some physical and mental content reflecting some of my 'battles' ect over the past 18-24 months?

some of my other blog posts could - if you would 'look over' and advise

any updates - changes etc - could be made

thanks

john

Ys, John, this could be included, for sure.

I'll look over all posts you think suitable when you submit when the time comes, if that's okay.

Hugs,
Nicky xx

thats great

thanks so much

there are not that many - due mainly to poor health and the mental-morphine prob's of completing
- sharpening up - what might just be a good poem

but with you on my side - i have time - precious time - the timetable is now down to me - to us
the other 'contract' would have put me under pressure to deliver - and i just could not do that
compromise work etc
so ---thanks again

i really 'found you - found a nice lady - good friend............ exactly at the right time

bed becones.......... no sleep at all last night

thanks for taking time out to read

different - is a way -over in the UK at present to get read

my - 'soap-box' poems at least get people thinking
get them focused on the issues

some of my earlier poems are in self-help books in woman's refuges - prisons and health centres

take care

will be reading and re-reading more of your own this coming week

best wishes

john
