Long after you've quit smoking, the cravings continue.

 

“DICK-IDIOM #103”
 
LOOKING BACK
SMOKING
(or not)
 
“Back in the day,
 
the only thing that was better
than that first sip
of morning coffee,
 
was the long drag
off the Marlboro red
that always accompanied it.
 
It’s been years,,,
 
but I still miss it.”

Never was a smoker, Richard, so I can't relate...but I know lots of people who lived for that first cig in the morning..giggle...I'm sure the smokers will "get" this nostalgic look at the days back when.....

I miss it too! But hopefully we'll live longer together. (Then of course, there are those days that I'm sure you're going to choke to death ..... from the foot you have in your mouth. :) )

I never smoked..um...cigarettes. Waaayyy back in the day I owned a couple of bongs that I put to good use. For awhile I chewed on cigars while commuting in the LA traffic to keep from killing somebody but was never addicted and gave that up fairly easily while I was still ahead. Rarely miss either.

I have two neighbors across the street that smoke like smokestacks...he is now & just recently on oxygen & they both smell constantly of smoke...their house I cannot even go into for the smell & overhang of smoke...that should be reason enough NOT to ever want to pick up the habit or miss it ever again...e

I never smoked, but I can't have coffee anymore and I miss it to this day. I go around smelling other peoples coffee mugs and inhaling the scent. I guess we just have to hang tough on these addictions. I'm glad you quit smoking though, you just may live a longer life which will make your family VERY happy! Me too.

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
