Drag the blade down through martini ramblings
Measuring time in cigarettes

I’m swallowing words with saccharin promises

They taste just like childhood
Just like ambition

3 nails left to be hammered in place
Slamming down this prevarication on blue keys
And tiny metal stamps

A desolated story
A split lip
A violent kiss

I want more…

Stunning write, overall. I think "Measuring time in cigarettes" will stick with me, and you used the word "prevarication," so I'm sold.

....ok.... the first half had my heart at arrest. do you know how many times i have sat in the back of places smoking and drinking thinking the same thoughts? second half... left me

now that its been a while, the second half left me wanting more (hence the title, im sure). like an arrow shot straight up, your work always seems to grace the skies and bring ozone down with it. and you never know when its going to hit...

Hmmm. This leaves almost a dirty taste behind. I think the colour of the text does a bit of irony to the work. This is like a stamp, smashed into my consciousness. +tpu+

and I want more.
