burn through cliches / a pack a day

smoker / soon your smile will burn

like paper / curl & disintegrate

simultaneous / soon

you'll become thin

as a whisper / cough up a cast

iron lung / soon you'll have

nothing / to lose sleep over / become

nicotine / inhale a chain

of signifiers / desire comes

with cautionary tales / when the

man wrote / I can't get no satisfaction /what

did he expect.
