If I could scream at any necessary time
Or go hunting for days
I would smoke much less
Perhaps not at all

Even ******* have to be constrained
Maybe this should be a list
About why I could spend the rest of my life
On some secluded mountain
Where I can scream, ****, and smoke all I want

But it would be cold in winter
Iā€™d miss the art of TV
The thrill of helium balloons
And tango dancing

So I drive out to the sea
And take long inhales on a cigarette
No screaming *******
Just a cigarette at the edge of the world
This is "Cigarette #4" from my book, When You Can't Scream...Or 10 Reasons Why I Smoke."
