Our haven without ends,
A circle we all call
Our Family of Friends!

the smoker,
cancer stick in hand,
dangles over the pit
of sick and well--
balancing over hell with such ability.

Death is of no object--
it has become the subject of life:
the sickness in salvation from
the rampant addiction.

The smoker,
cancer stick in hand,
turns around
and walks into a wall.

again and again
he walks
into
a wall.

Time to sue the contracter.
