Nicotine.

by @adam-burke

My hands are numb to all they touch But I feel their inner workings better than ever. I notice the strain while I'm writing, The cramp when I'm wanking, And the lack of a third line in my triplet. Their blood runs cool like ethanol. My eyes sting but they had the whole day, Let my lungs have their moment. Smoke soothes only second to air But my carnal desires placed it higher in demand. Warn all your kids And take coughing fits. The danger is real That's just how I feel.
