Cigarettes on a Raised Sidewalk

"Wanna go for a smoke?"
"Up or down?"
"Down,"
"Alright. It's hot and stuffy upstairs, and it stings my eyes,"

An addiction to intoxication.

"Let me sit closer,"
"How about this close?"
"Haha, a little too close! There's lot of people watching,"
"I don't really care, they can see and think whatever they want. It doesn't matter,"
"Doesn't matter at all... your heart's beating really fast,"
"It is?"
"It is,"
"Of course it is. It's always beating so fast when you're around me,"
"Really?"
"You're feeling it yourself. You tell me,"

Like a dream that never was.

"They're waiting for us,"
"Let them wait. They'll probably start anyways,"
"Want to share another cigarette?"
"Yes,"

Unawares and uncaring.
