Candy Cigarettes

I lived out every bet you made

I licked the floor, I ran in place

by the fountain in the mall

we puffed our chests and crossed our legs

smoked candy cigarettes

and then learned to wait

fluorescent stars

and a neon milky way

when he comes we expect it

divine intervention

he permits our evolution

and from the corners of our mouths we

exhale and blow ourselves away

pinpricks of consciousness

but nothing to say

smoke candy cigarettes

and then learned to wait

smoked candy cigarettes

blew ourselves away

smoked candy cigarettes
