And so it goes
the face has a nose
live bodies must breathe
this one tries with ease
as hot tempers seethe
and true airs are inspired
nostrils flair keen to detect
sweet scents of a woman?
an infant's downy fresh odour
smells of a gas guzzled motor
perils of life
forked tongues taste the air
turbunates rarify what is there
nostril hairs filter moistened dust
warm inhalations generated from cold gusts...
it's shape given to describe racial contexts
or taken to be a mark of character,
is this what matters?

Martin,
it matters not the shape the size
but of a nose we must revise
our opinion and surmise
that breathing is the noses prize

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

After seeing the title, I just had to come see.   Very trippy, and perhaps a touch cute.   Cool.


Great t' see another Canadian drifting around this place, btw.
