To LRSN

man i miss the hardpack
whack against the flat
of the hand
and the click of my Zippo
but i quit some time ago
we can still make
images and texts
even, ahem, sex
even when we shall
all die someday of something
so relax
kickback
because you can't smoke in heaven
but maybe if we're lucky
we light up in hell

--amor y paz,

i take consolation...
2nd hand, at 15 ft, is tastier
than as first person gunner

it's never that good when the
buds are burned out

agreed. i miss more the ceremony of smoking. not the smoke. i like the heft of the pack and the weight of the lighter, the sound of ignition and the first intake. after that, smoking does little for me. and i don't miss the inhalation of toxic fumes.

The attention to sound in this is great - the fizz, crackle and pop!
