Summary:
For all those who struggle with TRULY quitting smoking.
No.where  
is  
now.here~  
 
the passage lost
to a sunk cost
cigarette
sneer~ 

a dead man  
high beams  
the wild frontier 
manifesting  
this flesh machine  
ghost on the 
grim wire road,  
 
a beast-born dream
slouching toward  
[REDACTED]  
screaming  
 
reading cruel 
books & bones  
in the sticks  
and stones  
casting looks  
on remembrance  
 
alone  
 
at home on the range  
of a grateful change,  
a Stygian hope 
tight between the teeth  
and scarcely belLIEved  –
 
a dry-gulch  
through sheet mulch
waxing the glass
through a headless stead  
by the growing pool of  
a brake light red  
  
a terraformed
supernatural  
salt-of-the-earth-  
grind still
breathing deep
on the Other side

peeling the time  
into personal shape  
for public state,

tiptoeing through
the tulips
over by some
abandoned
factory ruins

(to go inside
and coincide)

taunting a need  
with a pothole lead
(a vroomvroomvroom
impending doom)  
 
born slouching toward  
the cities of the beast
while wyrming wet 
through the stark realization
of a smoking cessation
 
(slip & fall school  
seldom self-aware  
in this sodium grist)
 
as ever,
 
never

looking through
the grimoire  

cost  
 
manifesting  
a flesh machine  
ghost  
fresh off the road,  
 
now here  
in  
no where
 
seeking  
the passage 

lost.
