The most depressing thing
about cars is that
no matter how far they take you
they cant take you away from  
where youve been
and cigarettes remind me
of my Father
because you never
can just walk away
can you? To many lies taste like
Marlboro Red 72s and they
both leave a burnt plastic taste
wrapped around your brain. So I
smoke it down
to the filter, smile encouragingly, and
light up another one.

The things we remember, those that remind us and how we celebrate are so sharply unique. So stinging and hauntingly real.

A depressing read, but it does resonate. What can one say? Enjoy the benefits of anonymity and take a hike, maybe with a camera and no cigs... smell the proverbial flowers that way. Wish I could.

Ha. You made me think, so the poem succeeds in the eye of the beholder!
