The Sound of One's Hand Washing Another's

My body breathes the air for me if I just let it through,
But sometimes I don't want to.
I rush or wait to take my fill.
I choose choosing my breaths as a skill,
For politicians will come for my muzzle,
My stock, my barrel, my breach,
Right before the other set comes for my speech,
My assembly, my protest, my press.
It'll be years 'til they come for my breath.
