Feline, I hope you're lying. Cause if these things come so easy, then why am I trying so hard I thought it best to let it shimmer then deliver a thought from a fever pitcher of smoke a cough and a choke I can feel you smiling but you're too far to see. And June is here. June is here, but she's laughing without me I want to feel your eyes inches from mine at both nines. We drink up the anger like wine laced with sugar and smoke. I cough and I choke. So take my hand. We'll jump up together and land. Just like the cats can. These are the things that make us laugh. These are the things that make us cry. These are the things that make our knees shake for fear's sake. Make our hearts break. I cough and I choke. Me and me and baby makes three.

I finally realized she wasn't a child anymore when I rounded the corner. She was standing casually, cigarette in loose fingers, smoke creeping past her lips. In that moment all the years passed before me and I saw her for the first time in forever.

Smoke by Ben Folds and Anna Goodman Leaf by leaf, page by page Throw this book away All the sadness, all the rage Throw this book away Rip out the binding, tear the glue All of the grief we never even knew We had it all along Now it's smoke The things we've written in it Never really happened All the things we've written in it Never really happened All of the people come and gone Never really lived All the people come have gone No one to forgive - smoke We will never write a new one There will not be a new one Another one, another one Here's an evening dark with shame Throw it on the fire Here's the time I took the blame Throw it on the fire Here's the view we didn't speak It seemed for years and years Here's a secret No one will ever know the reasons for the tears They are smoke Where do all the secrets live They travel in the air You can smell them when they burn They travel in the air Those who say the past is not dead Stop and smell the smoke You keep on saying the past is not dead Come and smell the smoke You keep saying the past is not even past You keep saying ... We are smoke ... smoke ... smoke

inhale, exhale. smoking comes so natural to me... but in the US right now it is used in such a poor way. I see kids all over the places smoking, kids and young adults and old adults and EVERYBODY, and they're all at coffeehouses and slick jazz bars and places you would think rational critical discourse would be going on frequently, in those "smart" areas, those "revolutionary" people, they all smoke. they're the ones who object to corporate america. they're the ones protesting the wars and the hate and the suffering. yet they are directly giving their money over to the giant corporations... they are asking for their own suffering and addicted... they are countering the very movement that smoking has come to stand for in these days. ironic.

sure it's just one cigarette. But then you throw it on the ground. It lights all the grass on fire. The cute little bugs living in the grass are foced to fly away to a near by field. Once there they eat all the crops. Then the farmer owning the crops goes bankrupt. He buys a shotgun with the last of his money and goes to rob a bank. During the hold up his shotgun backfires killing him and another woman. The funerals for these two people cost a lot of money that their families cant afford. So the families just throw their loved ones in a river. As the bodies break apart the fish in the river eat the dead flesh. This in turn causes the fish to die. With in a month the surrounding area reakes of dead fish and cigarette smoke.

i smoke more than most, and less than few, i write, yet there is nothing to say, but to what meaning is this, a poets dream, a story trodden on by horse or a leaf swept of by a gust of wind, a lost child, a lonely man standing by the sea, what do these things mean to me.

I like smoking. There's just something about breathing in something that stings a little and knowing it may one day kill you that makes it so rewarding. It goes well wit liquor too. I prefer a nice cigar myself, but a pack of Marlboro reds will do in a pinch.

there were different smells for different times. i can always remember the first pack i ever bought and coming in smelling like camels; the way i smelled when i left my grandparents' house because they both smoked camel unfiltereds. i almost quit but i discovered cloves. and i used to get buzzed off cigarettes and definitely could not walk and smoke at the same time. i would bundle up in the snow with a cup of chai and a clove cigarette and watch the other people made fat from their clothing walking past in their rush to academic pursuits. or sitting on the floor of her porch smoking my first joint feeling the tingly newness of my skin, the only thing telling me i was holding a cigarette were my eyes. i can't smoke regular camels without thinking of my dead grandfather. 60 years of smoking them and he died with a tumor the size of a baseball in his lung. never told a soul that every breath was agony. somedays the thought of that fate scares me. other days the smell can do nothing but soothe.

unhinged, my father died 5 years ago. He smoked unfiltered camels for 35 years or more. He was a tough cowboy type and didn't believe in doctors are complaining. "That shit's for sissies" he would say. I went to connecticut for a year and didn't see him detirerating at home, and when i got back i looked at my mother and said "what the hell is wrong with dad? he's so thin and frail looking." She had seen him losing the weight over a period of time so either she in deniel also or she just didn't notice he was very sick. I told her if she didn't take him to the hospital i was going to call 911. So, she convinced him to go. He had a tumor in his lungs the size of a grapefruit and died at home in my arms 10 days later. He had known for 2 years about the cancer and didn't tell anyone. I miss him. I don't smoke camels either. But i will puff on a menthol here and there to curb my appetite. I miss him.

When you start to smoke the smell of cigatrets makes you crave more, but my grandad died from too many cigars so I stopped just when I started to smoke. Who needs to smoke when there's food anyway? Fixing grandfather clocks also occupies your fingers

It's a guilty pleasure, I guess... I know I shouldn't do it, my grandmother died from lung cancer -- but I don't know. It's the badness appeal. Plus, it calms the nerves like a charm. I smoked a pack of turkish jades one night and woke up shaking and nauseated. And the smell is less than pleasant. So I don't think I'll do it anymore.

there wasn't a soul in the hall. i let myself into my room. it was full of smoke. at first i thought the smoke had materialized out of thin air as a sort of judgment, but then i remembered it was doreen's smoke and pushed the button that opened the window vent. they had the windows fixed so you couldn't really open them and lean out, and for some reason this made me furious.

That I have smoked yet another packet of by in-born addictives, with one measly relish left to endure. The final glimpse of doom Keeps me in this swell, in this myriad of swollen heart and mind. I’m left to think of you, my cheap addictions. I’m left to contemplate the consciousness I’ll shed and the face I’ll bear for you tomorrow. The cheap longings to break up something I simply don’t see as beautiful. An attempt at my lame obsession for attention. For the compliments that wear me down. And I want you to wear me down. I want to submit to your thoughts, your judgements, when I really don’t know who I am at all. Maybe an attempt to get you to clarify my identity, my means, my reason. Validate my motives and manipulate my thought. Another crazed obsession. Another hit of my identity, another injection of your smiles that fuel me to the end degree. Smoke

I don't know why people take the.. "risk" to smell like an ashtray..

at home for the holidaze, which means no thc. tight lungs, ibuprofen and albuterol. too many chemicals, didn't take it with food, stomach pain. the doctors tell me that one unfiltered joint's ten times worse than one cig. i guess they're right, but she's got me in her hold. the drifting, and cigs have plenty more chems, just keep telling yourself that. vaporator, if only they could fix the horrible taste. if only i had the money. if only, drifting through the december air in a cloud of particles.

He wanted to know if I was mad about the cigars. It is irony that I find him sexiest when I watch him smoking a tiny cigar but I can give that up because it is best if he doesn't. I hope he can stop but I like it that he cares that I care. (I care.) I want him healthy.

that awful taste of smoke is going to haunt me now forever. everytime he goes to kiss me now i think of it... I can't get it out of my head! so then I begin to feel horrible all over again. the smoke, the smell of spearmint gum, the purse clutched in my hands, the creepy questions, but most of all my dishonest reply, "no of course not"... how could I do that to him? to us? to what we've had for so long? and yet I didn't really do anything at all - so why the guilt? over and over the scene plays out, and that taste of smoke will never leave my lips.
