Back Door Break
"You can't smoke life
With a filter,"
He said slowly;
The skinny grey serpent fingers
Snaked out from his mouth
And their rolled white womb
As they ran themselves into nothing,
Up into the pins-in-the-lungs cold.
"It ends up tasting of paper
And only making you linger
A little longer than you'd like."
