"I smell gasoline."

(I'm better when my eyes feel it.)

I write my truth when life is just
the spark to one more cigarette
and I love the wheel;

I love
life. I think
about
it,
just like
it might blow
me
to bits -

smelling

gasoline, I rub
a callous
on my right hand thumb--

"I smell it. Gasoline..."

I click.

*ca-lick*

*ca-lick*

(click-click)

Kaboom.

Sometimes I wish you could just
make this stuff up...

So, what in reality happened?

I need specifics!

Now did I say this was a true story?

Well, okay.

The part about "I smelled gasoline."

That was true.

But I live in a third world country!

Thanks for reading!
