ode to a habit

By WhoIAM

so i am a smoker
and i love cigarettes

i love smoking in the morning
with a cup of coffee
my mind finally turning
and starting to truly comprehend
all that i must accomplish
in this short period of time
that is today

i love cigarettes on my walk to work
lighting it the moment I leave the subway
leaving little puffs of smoke
trailing behind me
as i hustle down
the city streets
more often then not
a touch on the late side.

i love cigarettes
late at night
just arriving home from the pub
maybe a poem formulating itself
in my mind
as i sit outside my apartment
smoking away
watching the familiar street lights and trees
as they glow and grow
in the darkness.
