light another cigarette,
place it in my mouth.
let me tell you a secret
about myself.
i lost myself in the streets,
in all those coffee shops,
in all those book stores.
in the classrooms.
in the halls of my home.
in the small of your back.
in the crook of your neck.
in the broken words --
the empty silences..
the void.
i lost myself.
or -
maybe i found myself.
