I watched you
as you walked down
that cool, grey
sidewalk
flaming lips
clung to your
cool, dark
skin
chewing your pencil
between your
slightly hereditary yellow
teeth
And that one
chipped tooth
that i gave you
when we were seven
I watched myself
put my cigarette down
because suddenly
I wanted to have lungs
I wanted to have lungs
so i could breathe
your sweet and pure
air
At that moment
you became the succulent poison apple
the 1000 calorie ice cream cone
the guilty pleasure
my saccharine escape
from this cancerous world
