Tobacco and chemical mixture in a cylindrical form…
Frantically she searches
For a source of fire
To extinguish the nicotine craving
that has engulfed her.
A burning tinge of sulfur infiltrates the air
The anticipation…
Inhale…Exhale…
Mellow.
So much depends on a cigarette…
Pretty dress, new shoes…
dirty from head to toe,
The tomboy had a typical day
at preschool.
Enter Mr. Bubble:
Swirling, twirling,
Creating a foamy play land.
Gleeful giggles,
Smells of fruit, flowers and innocence fill the air
So much depends on a bubble bath…
Accidentally did something I regret
Almost sliced my finger in half
No really—don’t laugh
I dashed to the nurse and thought
I might need a hearse
Called my Mom and Kevin from there
Because I knew they would care
The nurse said my finger was going to need some work
Boy do I feel like a jerk
We went to the doctor, but he couldn’t do it
gave me some pain meds though so I wouldn’t feel it
Got back in the car and went to the ER
Good thing it wasn’t very far
Gave me a few shots to make it numb
No really, I’m not dumb
And I sat there crying while they stitched me up
Couldn’t stop crying, it felt like I was dying
It didn’t hurt at all in class when I was trying
I was real surprised my mom didn’t start weapin’
I said, “Congrats, Mom, you didn’t shed a tear,
But I could tell you had a lot of fear.”
Then she whispered in my ear, “It’s all over, dear, I’m here.”
The nurse cleaned up my thumb
It was all bloody and stuff
Mom said I had been real tough
I guess so, but I have had enough.
