“I want to buy a pack of Marlboro reds and smoke them one by one. Twenty little friends to calm my nerves. Twenty times I’ll count which memories I’m burning away. I’m dizzy from the nicotine, but thinking more clearly now. There’s a sick satisfaction in killing yourself slowly. I want to understand the songs about needing a smoke.” 1:34 p.m, Monday, March 9, 2015 - j.d
