Thank You for Smoking
INSIDE THE ROOM |
Like marching bands of army
I play the piper
•Slowly it consumes
Helpless airs of lungs, the whiff,
nicotine-stained lips
•In the smoking room
We wear jackets of smoke and ash
The butts cry for fire
•with empty pockets
with compulsion to smoke oft
with biri i walk
•she fagged while i humped
i caught my breath when she said:
‘Are you done, my boy?’
•the picture scares me
it’s a government mandate
to spoil ciggy packs
NO SMOKING ZONE |
•it’s time for a smoke
you can wait here for a while
no smoking zone sucks.
•take your butt outside
my buttock? i kick it out;
they mean the ciggy’s.
•As the dark lungs cough
the liver smirks; the heart wails:
Thank you for smoking.
PAMPERED WITH CHOICE |
•from Moreh they come
smacking Burmese and Thai's lips,
Win, Classic, et al.
•Old folks they say they
prefer Bandor to Mantu
Easy on the throat.
•Which one is better:
active evil, passive good?
Smokers’ dilemma.
WRITE HAND HAIKU |
•Should I smoke or stop?
Should I write haiku or halt?
The toilet knows not
•She sips her tea while
I count the words for haiku
The fag yells: "Drag me."
•with a fag, left hand,
with a phone, right hand; i write
meaningless haiku.

I feel this is a very interesting and detailed blog post about the adversities of smoking and how lips could be actually treated.
