You are my nicotine patch dream


You came via electro mail

And gave
the crushing drudge

of twenty four
after twenty four
after twenty four

some punctuation.

Before you
I was
chasing a hearto
mainlining sweets
of both kinds

Now,
I’m still part
slow motion suicide          

But laughing

Let’s cuckold old age

Who wants to live in bungalows
via panic buttons
anyway.
