Interrupted
by a cigarette
interjecting
a craving into the dark pink
of a craving mouth
And it howls
a bestial guttural sound
when denied
Short lived resistance
toppled lego block walls
snapped hastily
into a blockade before the door
But children don't stop the adults
from smoking their tar
And little lungs cough cutely
like dandelion fluff blowing away
So quickly does the quicksand
Consume
The smile that must be parted to fit
Another last cigarette between the lips
And some people catch on
And then most people catch on
A lucky few know how to sell
addiction to death and not
hate themselves for it
because they buy self approval
And they sell cigarettes
