Some days . . . it seems the day has already died, when it’s only just begun – just like that cigarette butt I just kicked off my front sidewalk, into the grass, kicking it around until it was out of sight. Dead. It’s then I want to crawl back into my bed, burying even my head beneath the covers. I hate cigarettes. And the people who believe my yard is the perfect place to dispose of them. Daddy! My heart goes,Boom! Boom! Amazing – the sound of my 4-year old’s voice. © wesley james beard, jr. |

When I smoked, I smoked Lucky Strikes. I thought of them as biodegradable. You must have encountered one of the 'Kotex' brands. The distraction was far more pleasant. ...just bein' Bluesy |
