why do you smoke? Fresh used to say it's elemental-- we breathe in wind, we're ninety percent water and the maker moulded us from earth So come on baby light my fire I still can't puff O's but I'm not interested anymore Guru said it's self medication Baba shrugs and sighs and says it's a bad habit I think it was my first attempt at knowing for myself It still feels like it's mine My time and my lungs I always imagined I had a big ugly black heart But when they xrayed my chest they said it was smaller than average It tastes awful and it feels worse And I don't take pride in it Well, maybe I do-- because I resent that question It's not really a question And I don't have an answer |
