Array ( [sid] => 100216 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Morning Smoke [time] => 2005-07-05 16:57:07 [hometext] => Here's a poem I wrote this morning for a class thing. I'm pretty sure it's a different style than I usually do. I would reallu appreciate suggestions! [bodytext] => All I wanted today
a cigarette.
Just to be collected.
But I am to be scattered.

I walked to every person,
but to be denied.
Women talking,
men standing, passing by,
only to receive the same lie.

"This is my last one!"
I say a polite O.K.
as they put their pack away.
A morning walk, but I have none.

One man,
standing,
offers a smoke
though from his lips.
Ragged eyes and ragged clothes.
To him I decline.
Fairwell, my tainted ecstasy!

Rude strangers
make judgment
all by looks.
Too small, too young.
Withhold, refuse.
My frustration.

I wandered to the park
where police never stray
and cigarettes run free
to meet a noisy silence
of seagulls and nothing more.

I sat and fumed
without smoke
in my livid disappointment. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 43 [informant] => WorthlesSanity666 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

ROFL! I am sorry I did not mean to laugh at your unfortunate predicament. I am sure you were quite annoyed when it happened. But you penned it with a subtle sense of humor which I thoroughly enjoyed!

IT's funny but true you should take this as sing that smokers are mean and thier breath stinks like an ashtray. So you should quit now cause in "Death" you wont have the chance
