addiction

You know that part of the movie Ghost where the subway ghost (Vincent Schiavelli )is, in his own way, mentoring "Sam" in the ways of haunting? And somehow...


"What you don't believe me? You think I fell? You think I jumped? Well, f*ck you! It wasn't my time. I wasn't supposed to go! I'm not supposed to be here!"

...they end up breaking the cigarette machine, spilling the innards of the machine out onto the dusty dirty station floor?

He looks longingly at the array of cigarettes spread out before him like a starving man on a fast led to a buffet table.

"Ahh what I wouldn't give for a drag! Just one drag! "

That is in my mind today. The metaphor of it.

teased taunted
nanny nanny boo boo
I'm not even good for you
and yet you miss me
addiction
reminders right there in your face
every time you turn around
like a spray
of cigarettes
on a dirty nasty ground
