Smoking cigarettes,
surrounded by a haze of smoke.
I cling to the last ember
of this thing that seems to give
me hope.
my nerves are raw,
my mind is a mess,
and the only thing that matters
is smoking to relieve this stress.
I kick my shoes off and unbutton my
shirt;
I settle back in the chaise and run my fingers
through my hair.
I have to make a choice of smoking
Winstons, Malboro Lights, Camels or Salems,
it really don’t matter just as long as I can get
comfortable, identify my stresses and nail them.
I’m smoking cigarettes and feeling so good,
a breeze coming through my open window and the ringer
cut off on the phone;
I’m laidback puffin’ and groovin’ to Nina Simone.
so I forget about my long day, and with each and every puff,
my stresses are gone;
I’m feeling good and relaxed smoking cigarettes and moving
to my groove in the privacy of my home.
