In the course of my stay there, I also showed how one could analyse the experimental kinetic curves for the reaction of haemoglobin with carbon dioxide or oxygen by simulations in the computer, and so fit the rate constants.

Panicgrass and feverfew

helicopters are swimming through the air
and i can smell their vibration.
when the grass is panicked,
i feel thirsty.

i can't breathe
where do I find air?
when will I be floating
amongst the dead alligators
and the oxygen molecules? ...

Many years ago it was taught that plants and animals were composed of different materials: plants, of a chemical substance of three elements,- carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; animals of one of four elements, nitrogen being added to the other three.

Oxidation

Through my nostrils
I inhale Oxygen
And give back Carbondioxide.
Oh! Along this sensitive process
I survive to write
And I realized
The life is not worth
When stop breathing.

* Yes Mr. President in these final days we can do it again,
best of luck!

I see great things in baseball. It's our game--the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.

Could be

She blinked those eyes at me
and fired
and I was sunk.

She smiled and I tore my heart
from my heaving chest
and gave it to her.

She breathed lightly
and I lost my oxygen.

She turned to walk away
and I could not take my eyes away;
they left with her.

Must be love.

Green Circle

You are peeling me off
like a crab.
Time has sunk very low.

For the hungry kids
who was growing crab apples?

Creating art,
arriving between the pubes.

A microfossil
roosting within me.
I could live without oxygen.

Incandescent,
the liquid wounds.
I will not send any salvo.

Performing, for me, is like oxygen. Performing, for me, is like the only thing that is a constant in my life, because you’re in all different places doing all different things, but when I get up on stage, that’s where I know exactly what to do, that’s where I own it.

Ruins

And this was a civilization
That came to nothing--he spurned with his toe
The slave-coloured dust. We breathed it in
Thankfully, oxygen to our culture.

Somebody found a curved bone
In the ruins. A kings probably,
He said. Imperfect courtiers
We eyed it, the dropped kerchief of time.

Hallucinating Elvis

(lebon, rhodes, cuccurrullo)
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating elvis
Hawaii to las vegas
Special treatment all the way
Hallucinating elvis
Missing eighteen hours
Losing oxygen to the brain
Lyin on the floor
Theres a limit
How much more I can take
Rhinestone inside my shoe
Coz Im turning into you now
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating
Elvis
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating

Human Altitude

Oxygen pumping in your arteries

Nature opens a vein to you

When you stride up to the hills

There is no greater thrill

Than human power

Powered at your pace

Carry your dreams

Against the

twirling leaves

sashaying shrubs

Futile is Life if Swapped!

A fish out of its water-bowl!
A Pup within a fishes’-bowl!
–Unnatural are both these things,
And life could end for both earthlings!

Fish-gills are meant for oxygen
Dissolved in water and not air;
Pup’s lungs need air to breathe and live;
It can’t stay long under-water!

Fish-fins help it to move about
In water most effortlessly;
A pup can’t be confined without
the needed space to run and play!

All lives are meant for habitats
Specifically pre-destined;
One cannot live a normal life,
With living conditions exchanged!

042011G going to rest like you

i feel like i'm only one left
sitting upright this moment
yes, it's deafening silence
creeping to my feet and up
owls could be hunting by now
forest floor will come alive

time would keep on going
as ships cruise overnight
you sleep through night
dreams could have shared
but i consume more oxygen
than most so i have to sleep

O Nature, I Owe You More!

O nature, My body and senses gifted by you,
I owe You More,
In your lap I learned a lot, gained to energy to soar,
High in the sky clouds roar,
Only to weep and make green friends smile!

You look full of chaos,
but below that random clouds,
Midst of Storms and winds, burning Sunshine on meadows and deserts,
There lies scope for flowers of life to bloom,
ocean full of waves, looking horrible,
Below the morbid layer of chaos,
Peaceful fishes swim, above gulls and eagles fly!

Land is that part uncovered by ocean,
Yet covered by ocean of green life,
Waiting for precious tears,
Random clouds they need to weep,
Thunders roaring and flashing of lightning,
Makes oxygen embrace the ever neutral nitrogen,

Weightless

Floored by a rocket's phenomenal thrust,
fueled by unquenchable space wanderlust,
hydrogen, oxygen liquid combust,
aloft, horizontally fire.
Tangentially aimed, yet Earth's grasp is enthralling,
her curving withdrawal allows for free falling
and inside the capsule, so gracelessly sprawling,
are voyagers of weightless desire.

If your Nerve, deny you

292

If your Nerve, deny you—
Go above your Nerve—
He can lean against the Grave,
If he fear to swerve—

That's a steady posture—
Never any bend
Held of those Brass arms—
Best Giant made—

If your Soul seesaw—
Lift the Flesh door—
The Poltroon wants Oxygen—
Nothing more—

All yor pearls

I can see your sympathy
You wear it like a string of fake pearls
Hanging on yor ears
As you pretend to listen
Draped around your neck
lying across ypur chest
as you pretend to care
And i can feel your anger
A raging fire of pure fury
It burns in your throat
as you spit firey sentences
It flicks in your eyes
And my soul is it's oxygen

Falling In Love

Blast oxygen masks, smoke filled cabin
Depressurize, dont be afraid, hold onto me
Were goin down, but not our love
Death dont seem so bad, cause Im with you
My only love, so close your eyes
Kiss me one last time, were gonna
Die, but not our love, not our love

Oxygen

Baby tell me is this good for you
Cause for it's a dream come true
I think about you both day and night
If this is wrong I don't care if I'm right

Cause I know one thing's for certian
Boy I'm not hurtin' for inspiration
And I feel when we're together
It could be forever and ever and ever and ever

I wanna be the ocean to your shore
Give you comfort evermore
I wanna be the only thing you need
Be the oxygen you breath

Is this as good as I think it is
Cause I can feel it boy when we kiss
And there's nothing more
That I would ever ask for
Than to be with you-just to be with you
