cigarettes

in the urge to fight the boredom

to combat the crushing weight

held closely internally 

deeply held inside the reality

in between the search for shelter

the hunt for food ...

we found a purpose

in the nothing

we found excitement 

for a reasonable fee

it's made us feel

it has helped combat the weight

with a crushing existence

our addictions sooth us

fully placated

we are invincible

until the end

Though speakest from within thy big fat shoe.
Egads! Thy big fat foot will fit thy mouth perfectly!
I forgive you, oblivious one.

Ha, you people here. You can have sex with me in real life if you'd like. I don't think most of the "writers" on this site understand what's actually going on in the world. I can show you... you won't like it, but I would LOVE to show you Doll Face.

For real, I have to ask, why do you think I write all these poems here?

[Davidgeo]

What do you think my purpose is?

[ETERNITY]

Davidgeo, I ignore a third of your words because I don't understand and I don't want to appear foolish.
I love your writing, i'm still searching for the books. Please tell me your purpose. My guess? You piss people off so their hearts won't stop on a boring site.

Haven’t smoked a cigarette since I was 16. I reckon I’ve saved a lot of money and maybe my health too.

You might as well start smoking again. The world is totally ending. I think I'm going to drink a bottle of Talisker and smoke an entire pack of Marlboro reds this Easter. Happy Easter by the way Chris.

There’s happy for you. A definite no to cigarettes, but a yes to a brandy and lemonade. Two if I need an extra fix. My addiction? Poetry. Happy Easter.

[Davidgeo]

Because you don't smoke... you would actually really enjoy the tobacco. Not an endorsement of smoking, that s**t is the devil. But, I think you should have a cigar with your brandy. You'll thoroughly enjoy it. You're past the point of getting addicted, you should give it go.

(nicotine kinda gets you high and invokes a feeling of euphoria before you develop a tolerance)

[Davidgeo]

No offense... you're too old to develop a tolerance. Lucky you.

[Davidgeo]

Okay... now I realize that was, not a good thing to say. Apologies. Would you like to smoke cigarettes with me anyways? I will bring the Taliser if you bring the cigarettes...

[Davidgeo]
