Daniel Magner May 2014
My downstairs neighbor got evicted,
he gave me a charm to keep away evil spirits, hung it right on my door. Acceptance from a few time aqaintance
had never felt so good. We stood and smoked stoge after stoge, swapping stories, who would have thought two stories and a noise complaint to meet a Pisces just like me, and have him call me a saint. That *****, quivered on the air followed by I don't care, a high five, and a see you around. Drop the stoge to the ground, stamp it out, peace out.

For P.D a kindred soul
Daniel Magner Aug 2013
There is nothing
worse
than smoking a stoge alone
knowing the white paper wrapped
around leaves is a Hearse.
Dying slowly with a friend
feels almost alright
but when the smoke
billows out at night
a locomotive with no incentive
you get pensive
and wish that cancer would develope
dropping you in an early grave.
The stench of burning bodies
isn't a story
with a life lived next to a crematory
the sizzle of the cigarette
akin to the sound of
bacon cooking in the morning.
No warning signs
from a petered out mind
cracked spine causing
an acid flash back
fluorescent butterflies
peek over the guitar strings
stinging like beautiful bees
while the trees take deep breaths
singing
"Breathe child...breathe"

Transparency

Trapped in my mind
the cage of which there is no release...
Endless time
a myth I hold on to which brings no peace...
These hands... attached to me...
not truly mine...
a bowl of thought seeps through them...
I'm losing my mind.

Vision blurring...
alphabet soup is what I see.
No words form...
I ***** out my belief.
You're disgusted!
Your life full of ****.
You don't care...
I'm no one...
I swear I'm legit.

I feels you.
Though different neurons...
and separate plains...
I'm thankful to breathe smoke
and momentarily ease the pain.

I dare you!
Shred off my garments!
Release the true me within!
Then spark up that stoge
and judge
my
naked cigarette.
