It’s past midnight,
and Bones
is two years old today.

Mom and her new man

are sitting out on the stoop,
drinking beer,
and smoking their butts.

They’re laughing at Bones,
tearing around on the sidewalk.

They think he’s cute out there,
running around naked.

The new man thinks
he’d be even cuter,
if Bones had a cigarette,
dangling from his lips.

He lights one up,
and sticks it in Bones mouth,
telling him to suck on it.

Mom and the new man
think that’s just about
the cutest thing
they’ve ever seen.

Bones coughs.

Thanks dear M,

No, you don't need to have compassion for anyone.

James,

Thanks for reading and commenting. You're absolutly right, parents can teach their children bad habits. It's a bad thing to do.

My oldest daughter and oldest son both smoke. The other daughter and son don't.

I smoke Italian stogies, and have for years.
