There is something so romantic about cigarettes
The way they hang from an artists lips
As they’re leaned up against bricks
One leg up they inhale and exhale toxins
The fashion of quietly killing themselves
But I don’t see it
All I see is
The rise and fall of breaths
The unexpected beauty of a slow death
