Another Tricky Day
Buck Downs
$5

not right now


    I felt that wave
of what nicotine
    could do for me

extended form of mind
    full of capture

breathing in and out
share the same seat

    doing all that math
on the day I would die

        satisfied
        that ruin
    in the cadaver
    is the bottom-line

        come and get
        your feeling
    of every kind

    the world of not
    spending the night
