smoke MAG
Smoke is elegant
 Tapering into lacy patterns
 Giving in to air's sweet suffocation
 Although
 The beauty derives from something so beastly
 Toxins and grotesque nicotine
 Rolled in a pretty white package
 It begs for attention
 To be wrapped in our lips
 Engulfed, enclosed in the safety
 Of our screaming lungs
 We suck in its smothering fumes
 Inviting the death that follows
 It steals our attention, our choice
 Forever in its grasp
 Smoke may be undeniably entrancing
 However, smoking is nauseating and
 Inevitably cynical
