Toxins won't fix you
February 28, 2014
why do we breathe the same smoke
and expect something different
or maybe we switch the brand
and inhale it when we start choking
and keep breathing until we can't
and change the name on the box
for the second time this week
we have cancer again
let's smoke a cigar this time
maybe the switch will cure us
eat away at the infection
until nothing is left
except smokey lungs
