The Key to Quitting Smoking

God, I hate running out of smokes.
Then you’ve gotta get up

make yourself look presentable
and go to the store.

You never know who you might run into
neighbor, ex-wife, minister.

They’ve come up with a million things

but, clearly, the key to quitting smoking
Is to stop trying

to make yourself look presentable.
