Breathe In the Difference
Choose our brand of air it’s the purest
and each canister lasts a guaranteed eight hours
don’t trust what our competitors say.
We begin with pristine elements our oxygen
is recovered from pockets in the last of the polar ice.
You don’t want to take any chances
when you’re on a road trip
protected from the choking multitudes only by
your thin membrane of bulletproof glass.
Pearl Pirie edited and produced the intriguing accordion-bound chapbook In Air/Air Out on the theme of air that included this poem. All proceeds went to the Guatemala Stove Project which helps provide masonry stoves to reduce health impacts from the smoke of open cooking fires.
