Atmosphere
by Tota LongmireInhale. Exhale. In
The duration of that
Cigarette nothing else
Matters but that rush
Of polluted air, deep
Into my lungs. Exhale,
Blowing smoke into
The atmosphere where
It fades away like all
The meaningless
Interactions of life.
Friends, foes, lovers,
In the end they matter
Less than that rush of
Nicotined air in and
Out of my lungs.
In the end we’re
All just pollutants
In the atmosphere.
