Pushing Through the Gradient

We need a sign
for what we know not
pushing through those
on the gradient 
from cold to hot.

You're running in circles
when the path is blocked.
All your life, 
feet kissing
amosite and rocks.

Busy men maintain,
with uncaring eyes,
yacht rock, and Cadillacs, 
links so important
to make losses again.

Breath in through your nose
and out through your mouth.
Butterflies in formation,
when you get up and go out.
