Me and the smoke in the wet air
It’s rained all weekend
I prefer Jameson to Jack
I feel like a new person
Swimming in the glass
it sweats
It is too warm for February
I am too warm for everything
Every match burns for the first
and last time
Tobacco between my first and
second fingers
burning for the first
and last time
If I don’t find out who this woman is
It’ll be the last time
I ever ask
