I rolled up

A piece or paper.

Just wondering

What it's like

To smoke.

Of course

The cigarettes are

On the mantle,

But my parents

Would notice.

I set the end of

The paper on fire,

Breathed in.

It was sweet.

Sweet but smoky

Like smoked steak

With BBQ sauce.

I put it down,

My motherly side coming out.

Why the hell would I do that?

I don't know.

Got bored.

The embers

In the fireplace

Won't catch.

Lighter? Sparked once.

Out of fluid.

Matches?

Couldn't even get a spark.

Air?

Not working.

Fires

Are so hard

To make.
