Breaths

I wonder exactly how many breaths I've taken in my life, precisely, right down to the most recent. An approximation won't be accurate enough; I'm sure there were many times I was left breathless and other times I had to breathe twice as hard to keep up with my heart. I wonder how many times I've breathed deeply, enjoying a pleasant aroma, and how many times I've held it as long as I could. I wonder how many more breaths until I hold it forever.
