Smoking Vice
I started smoking when I was 12 years old
There I have admitted it
After school in the 7th grade we would go
to a cave in the woods near my house.
My friends and I.
A cute boy named Doug and a girl or two.
We thought we were so bad...
As in badass, for those days
We thought we were so cool
Sexy in a way
We smoked Newports mostly
As we got older maybe Marlboros
I would run home for dinner
Up the stairs to my bathroom
Brush my teeth and spray cologne
My parents never noticed
My father wouldn't let me smoke when
I was 21 and married
He smoked
He died from it even as he denied the reason
I have a vice
Not a bad habit
An addiction and a difficult one
I've broken it to have my babies healthy
And again once or twice
I have an addiction
There I've said it
There I have admitted it
