Poem #5

I go best with cigarettes 

And shitty poetry 

You can find me in

All those places 

Where you go to worship 

Or loathe yourself

The twenty four hour diners

And the basement bars 

I sell indulgences 

At altars of hopelessness 

Notes of dirt 

And caramel 

I am a drug of choice 

No one seems to notice

Until they’ve gone without me
