when was the last time you held your breath?

Aug 16

the cigarette in the hand

and then the cigarette in the eye

but then the cigarette on the lips anyways

and because you’re used to that kind (of) pain

the cigarette on the ashtray

with the occasional cigarette in the trash

and the common cigarette on the ground

the inevitable cigarette in the air

and the irreparable cigarette in the lungs

and then the cigarette mostly in the lungs

and so the cigarette everywhere

the cigarette in the rain

the cigarette in the sun

so then the cigarette in your sleep

and so the cigarette daydream
