have you ever tried holding air in your hands? cup it slightly, like this; can you feel it? hold it firmly, and make sure it doesn’t drip from your fingers air is life you try to make it stay within the walls of your flesh and blood, and incarcerate it behind the bars of bone; but it always finds a crevice between your clean, filthy fingers and escapes

holding air
