To flinch
I wrote a love poem
Then I flinched
I dreamt for the right one for a brief moment
Then got alarmed
No it is coffee and cigarettes
That is how you have lived for the rest of your life girl
That is your dream life.
So yes coffee and cigarettes
And ashtray butts of course.
Then I flinched
I dreamt for the right one for a brief moment
Then got alarmed
No it is coffee and cigarettes
That is how you have lived for the rest of your life girl
That is your dream life.
So yes coffee and cigarettes
And ashtray butts of course.

It's just an oral fixation Louis
Besides these coffin nails won't hammer themselves

such a common place addiction
really cut down on the cigarettes,
I freely admit I haven’t felt able to give them up
entirely my fault,
of course
one regrets ..

Secondhand Smoke
Breathe. Swallow. Drown.
Now you’re lost where no one
Will come down
Down to find you in the deep
In the dark
Of secondhand smoke
Where lips curl
Dissatisfied
And the snarl
Provokes the night
To leave
But you’re still down there
At the bottom of the shallows
Hungrily searching for something
Anything
Except the secondhand smoke
That fills you up
From the inside out
It goes in smooth
And comes out jagged
Taking with it pieces
Of the pink flesh
Of your lungs
So when others borrow...
Now you’re lost where no one
Will come down
Down to find you in the deep
In the dark
Of secondhand smoke
Where lips curl
Dissatisfied
And the snarl
Provokes the night
To leave
But you’re still down there
At the bottom of the shallows
Hungrily searching for something
Anything
Except the secondhand smoke
That fills you up
From the inside out
It goes in smooth
And comes out jagged
Taking with it pieces
Of the pink flesh
Of your lungs
So when others borrow...

Wisping
The phantom again dances
taking its chances
in the predawn hours
coiling upon itself
Stairstepping ever higher
as if now to conspire
in some wicked plot
some wicked game
For grey is the way
the color of ambiguity
the color of mystery
writing its own history
Leaving plenty of room
for evil to again bloom
in all of its dark beauty
to again reign in the night
As I still strive to write
some pencil thin line
in an attempt to define
that having no clear...
taking its chances
in the predawn hours
coiling upon itself
Stairstepping ever higher
as if now to conspire
in some wicked plot
some wicked game
For grey is the way
the color of ambiguity
the color of mystery

Leaving plenty of room
for evil to again bloom
in all of its dark beauty

You Really Don't
You really don't want to be around us right now
My wife without her smokes
And me being a fat man who can't eat
I love her and she loves me
But you can't tell it
We're both at each others throats
We know what it is
And we get over it
But lets be honest
It's ugly
A friend came over today
"Why aren't you smiling? You're always smiling"
I put one of those fake smiles, and sipped my water
"I'll live longer," I remind myself
A thought comes to my mind
"If this is going to be my diet, do I want to?"
I ponder ...

Ledge
Wish you step back from that ledge, my friend" ~ Third Eye Blind
I guess we all have them
these ledges
where each of us hedges
all of our bets
Gathering up our regrets
into a straw basket
tied up with a baby blue bow
so everyone will know
Right before we toss it
before we ditch it
let gravity take the blame
or any other name
To avoid any culpability
maintain a civility
in this uncivil scene
frothing at the bridled bit ...

Let The Nicotine Fly Higher Than The Birds Over Superior Lake. (the gig was up. I should have set sail at dawn.)
Gloomy midwestern mornings.
I'm sure some ass-hole wrote about its beauty.
I'm sure i'm guilty of it. Anyways...
I had bought a bag of rolling tobacco a week back.
I quit smoking 8, 9 years ago.
When I was with an ex-girl, I had picked up rolling my own,
for...financial reasons I explained.
What I didn't tell her in that Duluth? hotel
was that I started rolling as an excuse to get away from her.
She hated the smell more than a regular cigarette somehow. ...

Nicotinity
Funny how the flick
of a Bic
can begin the quest
begin the ritual
As the orange tip
glows
with everything it knows
this paper wrapped wisdom
A slip between the lips
held there firm
filling the night air
with wisps of creativity
Defying all gravity
all metaphysical doubt
letting the words come out
from their slumbering sequestration
Feeling the tingling nicotine
tainting all things pristine
with a streetwise sense
only seen in flickering light
of a Bic
can begin the quest
begin the ritual
As the orange tip
glows
with everything it knows
this paper wrapped wisdom
A slip between the lips
held there firm
filling the night air
with wisps of creativity
Defying all gravity
all metaphysical doubt
letting the words come out
from their slumbering sequestration
Feeling the tingling nicotine
tainting all things pristine
with a streetwise sense
only seen in flickering light
