You place the cigarette to your lips and inhale
holding it inside your mouth
"you say I have a choice but we both know that's bullshit"
you exhale into the stranger's face
"no, I promise you - I cannot interfere if you decide to stay here"
............
You take another look at your shit pit apartment with the tent in the middle of the room
the stack of old records and bottles of wine
dreams leaking from the walls
love burnt out in the corner by the plastic chair
another deep drag of the cigarette
"Yeah get me the fuck out of here!"
