sitting
outside by the pizzeria at lunch
someone comes up to me to bum a cigarette
sorry I don’t smoke I say, but that’s okay
there are plenty of smokers outside
smoking Newports across from the school
under the illusion we are almost adults

- Written for dVerse Quadrille#110: Shall we bum around a bit?
Love the simple title you've chosen for this. A story waiting to be spilled.
ReplyDeleteNice one Arcadia

This is happening less and less these days. Bumming a cigarette is getting harder and harder.
ReplyDeleteNice Job!
nice slice of life/pizza
ReplyDeleteYour quadrille took me back to my schooldays, Maria, but we used to smoke outside the fish and chip shop. 😊
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone :)
ReplyDeleteA whole new generation of COPD!! Too bad there isn't a better way to act adult! Great poem.
ReplyDeleteThis is oh so subtle and elegant!💝
ReplyDeleteAs if smoking were a shortcut to adulthood! Nice one :-)
ReplyDeleteAt one point it seemed like smoking was a grown up thing... this days it seems childish.
