Fag (Slow Drag)
Fag
It’s such a slow drag,
The drawl of a cigarette,
Smoke lingering, dead
In the mouth of a fag
Pursed between lips
Dangling alone
Moved by the wind
As it bites, whips
There’s just no relaxing
When all of the world
Is changing their face,
Waning and waxing
He stays the same
Bright as the moon
Beaming bright
No shame to his name
The cigarette burns down
With the hot blazing sun;
It does what it does
And burns the whole town
And burns his red mouth
Already scabbed
Already waiting
For the wind to turn south
