Breathing Air

From Steps of the Ladder, Vol 1, Article no. 274, by Rabash

We see
That people must constantly
Breathe air,
Or they will lose their lives.
And this air must go back and forth,
Meaning, after inhaling,
He must exhale
And immediately inhale again.

The air previously inhaled
Is useful only for a moment.
And if we wish to go on living,
We must immediately
Inhale fresh air.
