If all else fails
They tell me
that cigarettes
will kill me well
That is if all else fails
Smoke blackens the lungs
And suffocates clean inhales
My mother told the doctor once
That her daughter will never
Have sex before marriage
Why would she need
to get vaccinated?
Because mom,
Because it could
have prevented this
preventable HPV
When the doctor
had told me
All I could
say was
Okay
Okay
Because
my vocabulary
was very limited
In a foreign country
Immersed in a language
That you could have brought
me up with, But it was easier not to
Now I often feel a real deep pain inside
My stomach feels as if it could burst
least the colitis isn’t at it’s worse
So I will smoke the cigarette
And feel the tobacco vibes
It’s not like my life won’t
end short otherwise
