  • I Light Another Cigarette

    As I walk down across the narrow lane,
    Inside my heart is an utter pain
    Staring at the long humid day,
    I light another cigarette.

    Burning my lips and burning my heart,
    Little puffs of smoke, and full of vaporous hope
    I am suddenly desperate, disgusted,
    I crush my cigarette under my shoes.
    I deem about the endeavor that was just worn out
    And I light another cigarette...
