Social smoking,
Social what?
I don’t know you,
Don’t you see?
“Can I have a cigarette?”
Can you have my cigarette?
Oblige me as you may,
You are obliged to talk to me now.
Insulated, instigated community
Kept alight by the *** at hand.
As we harm our health
We tarnish our respect.
LOLs and falls are commonplace,
You were my enemy ‘til tonight,
This faithful night,
When I gave you my cigarette.
Clouded distaste
Subtly lost
As we look
For a fickle flame.
“No I don’t have a lighter”
Don’t you know me anymore?
Usurped, ****** dry
Watch me die.
Tonight I may not be so lucent.
