"Spite Poem"
I'm smoking cigarettes while sick again
which mostly just means I'm sick again
But also
that itchy little bits of you
are creeping under my skin again
Maybe its your memory
gunking up my lungs
and gumming up my ganglia
and jamming up my damn heart again
But I hate giving you credit even
for the nasty shit
so I'm going to smoke and blame the cigarette again
I'm smoking cigarettes while sick again

and gumming up my ganglia
and jamming up my damn heart again
But I hate giving you credit even
for the nasty shit
