The phrenic nerve
Forever plugged into
And motoring rhythmically
our diaphragm
Contracting, relaxing
Contracting, relaxing
Contracting, relaxing
Involuntarily at it’s own pace
Expanding the thoracic cage
Taking, receiving, relieving
Itself of unnecessary gases
Dependency at its best
All unconsciously
Thank God, while we rest.
April PAD challenge day 27: mechanics poem
