As the **** of a 12-dollar cigar touches the tip of the tongue, the nervous system shoots a signal to the brain, to process the sweet tinge of delicious poison that hits the back of the throat. Slow suicide, baby, really doesn't get any smoother. Human bodies may desire health, but it’s the mind that struggles and tests mortality as the heart races for the best **** Hipsters and their vapor pipes, their overpriced organic groceries, coke binges and ****** addictions, gym memberships and spinning classes, they’re socialized to believe life goes on forever. They behave as if death is a kind of curse. We can run from sins, wash our souls in the rain of fresh lovers in new cities. Sins, however, collect. They grow in strength. All we have in the end, is the sweet tinge of satisfaction that comes from killing oneself in style.

Slow Suicide
As the **** of a 12-dollar cigar touches the tip of the tongue, the nervous system shoots a signal to the brain, to process the sweet tinge of delicious poison that hits the back of the throat. Slow suicide, baby, really doesn't get any smoother. Human bodies may desire health, but it’s the mind that struggles and tests mortality as the heart races for the best **** Hipsters and their vapor pipes, their overpriced organic groceries, coke binges and ****** addictions, gym memberships and spinning classes, they’re socialized to believe life goes on forever. They behave as if death is a kind of curse. We can run from sins, wash our souls in the rain of fresh lovers in new cities. Sins, however, collect. They grow in strength. All we have in the end, is the sweet tinge of satisfaction that comes from killing oneself in style.
To be included in my next collection, **** River Sins.
