The Cigarette

The Cigarette works against my whole thing lately, which is to be with my breath, to inhabit it.

For days after even one, it's all a little too tight for me to enter. And it ain't the smoke, it's the shit that was in the smoke, makin' the old boy jumpy.

Facing everything like normal, only the metronome swings faster and the balloon is made of thicker stuff.

Sitting inside the breath, sharing it now with addiction.
