Giving Up Smoking
The smell from the old cigarette factory
hangs around the school yard, warm and familiar.
Surely I can't be nostalgic about pollution?
But when I see the John Players Wills sign being removed,
and hear there'll be luxury apartments,
I can't help but remember
the first time you offered me a cigarette.
Blowing smoke out the bedroom window
into a night as soft and close as eternity.
In my head you'll always be 1950's black and white.
Cool, dangerous,
and a habit I can't seem to break.
