I poured myself, diluted with strong liquid
into her tender red presence
told her about the bird tattooed on her back
how amazing it was
and how I wished it were my hand in it's place

She told me she thought smoking was hot
like a sweaty midnight mistake that you never regret.
if she'd only told me earlier
I'd have placed a cigar between my strategic lips.

I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really.

Don't do it. Even for her - don't put that cigarette to your lips. See what your poetry does to me. It's like I am the Greek Chorus shouting in the background. That's one reason I like your work You involve me in it.

Alaboo, my dear friend, I don't do the cigarette thing. I do the cigar thing every once in a great while, on fishing/hunting excursions, or special occasions.

I'm glad you get involved.

I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really.

I knew you meant cigar - I just wanted to make sure you were paying attention!
