Milk and Cigarettes

I am drinking milk
I like milk
The way it runs across the spaces of my tongue
Coating and cleansing my smoke tortured tonsils
An overwhelming feeling of life
Flowing from this wax coated carton

I am smoking a cigarette
I like cigarettes
Harsh toxins entering my lungs with every breath
Ripping away the soft tissues that keep my alive
One more second of my life wasted away
With every puff of tightly rolled tobacco

I like milk
But I love cigarettes-
