Addiction Lament
Puffing away my life
in an endless cigarette-chain
and a ceaseless stream of coffee.
Each puff, the exact measure
of breath, held for you.
Each sip, tongue-scalding
like you look at me
when you're thinking
what you'd rather not say.

	> Addiction Lament reminded me of, -- there's not a shakespeare sonnet or a beethoven quartet that's easier to like than you or harder to forget. you think that sounds extravagant? i haven't finished yet- i like you more than i would like to have a cigarette. ~ wendy cope. -- (Reply to this) (Thread)

	In one fell sweep of your imagination, Aldrin, you have irrevocably sullied Ms. Cope's reputation as a poet...! ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
