Breath Hold

Mutley Ravishes

Out in the deeps

Tried to reach

An assumption

With intellectual functions

But they run out of oxygen

Thirty or so seconds

Into the dive

    Clever and too true, some speak without end in intellectual ramblings and explanations that run continually from one divergence to another until the original topic is forgotten. Very nicely written

    Throw the bullet's in the air so they don't see the bomb coming, enjoyed the read

    That is so scary and so descriptive of not only the physical perils of diving, which I have had some experience of and other such related misadventures where we can find ourselves out of our depth 🕊️🙏🏻

      For sure. The idea of free diving is scary. And to let go of thinking.

      • arqios

        Must be! I’ve free dived once in a crater lake and once for sea grape hunting and once sky dived. Funny how there weren’t any addictive returns.

        "Don't hold your breath now--!!!" My, my, my, will you forever mystify me? Charming. We thanks thee for sharing.

          Our core assumptions are tenacious, to say the least, aren't they? Never met a thought that can "defeat" one!
