| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 06/06/09 at 05:44 AM OMG - too funny!!! And yet, a certain, ironic sadness to it, too. Wow. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 06/20/09 at 02:01 PM LOL! Yup, been there done that, usually in the dark for special effect. |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 09/03/09 at 05:30 PM Ah, the crossing of boundaries, the moments where we humans get all crossed up. You capture such a moment in your poem. Clever and poignant at the same time. |
| Posted by A. Paige White on 06/17/10 at 03:29 AM Somehow I have the feeling those last two lines aren't neccesarily describing putting a fire to a tobacco product. To me, though, the best poetry is so well done it leaves you sure of the very thing you can't be absolutely certain of and the mystery of it attracts the mystery of our very being, written into the design of the loops in our DNA. Love it! Being a smoker myself I relate all too well to *giggle* either intention you authored here. |
