I smoke my friends like cigarettes
I smoke my friends like cigarettes
They all go out in flames
A combustion too uncomfortable
And tainted to be tamed
As the flicker of my lighter
Sparks unwanted conversations
On the ethics of my vices
And the mechanism I blame
They politely turn down offerings
To cough out peace pipe prophecies
I stop to see the thoughts they breed
Indulging in no shame
As I chart the darts
And hearts I‘ve smoked
The ends of which too charred to toke
A plant who seeds a desert youth
Will do it all in vain
