firecrackers

oh, burn
you silly little flames,
give me
momentary leave
from your seriousness
"but i have
a cigarette"
just gives me time to
NOT
understand you, it's
all your smoky
mirrors that convince me
to smile this way, an
that...

you can give me
your number
but it doesn't mean
you have to pick up.

shame on me,
cause i came back for seconds.
