Exhalations

I like the process

Glad it’s automatic

So many things can leave the body

Things we don’t need

Things in the brain stay there,

I suppose

We need exhaling in the brain

But we don’t get it

We have to learn what to keep

Up close,

What to file

The thing about a file, though,

Is that they’re not closed

For good

Mental welding doesn’t help

So open up the stacks

From time to time,

Letting air breathe through

The folders

We might need

Companionship for this
