Life in Smoke

smokers congregate where the purpose is an afterthought
generating excreta - sticking it in deeper than
any penis or finger or tongue
an orgy wrapped in foul vapours, raping all who come across it
not sparing even the children

doing it standing, sometimes perched precariously
all for that little tingle that's gone so soon
braving the heat and the dust
when it's done everyone's the same, only more putrid
not meeting anyone's eyes.

because:
the most important thing you will do
in your life
is this
you will pass the days dead-eyed until you are lit up again.
