cigarettes and scatch tickets
make the world go round
and it occurs to me
these people are scratching and smoking their lives away.
10 more dollars
one more pack
tick tick tick...the seconds off of their life
don't they have kids?
don't they have something better to do?
it depresses me just watching them waste away.
and now i smell like them...old and feeble.
damnit
