Burning quickly

The feeling burning deep in my throat and lungs doesn't matter for long ,
The pain quickly numbed after a few more plumes of smoke leave my mouth like a chimney,
The dizzy filter on reality follows shortly after,
Moving slowly like a dance with your first love every time simply because you wear a constant smile ,
The pain in your heart is muffled by the high as you prance around whimsically in the moment only experiencing it rather than worrying so damn much,
And in good company you never miss a beat,
Walking into the scene like seeing a sideshow attraction of freaks setting side by side laughing uncontrollably for minutes on end simply because there is nothing better to do ,
US the lost beatniks of this generation took in like so many others to just ride it out and love the moment.
