CIGARETTES

Chris Skiles

 

People are always asking me, for cigarettes

Don’t you know, it’s not the best

Habit to have?

 

Most people think it so drab

 

Dying,

 

But all I’m doing is deep-frying

The white paste in my head

That if I did not would make me dead

 

Some way or another

 

Asking for cigarettes.
