A Drag


from the ABC set Poems

And yes if I smoked
I would have had a fag
not just the vodka cocktail
a pinky Sea Breeze
as I sat on the sofa
and pondered
awaiting your return.

Eighteen you may be
but you're my son
my own flesh and blood
you are part of me...

So yes if I smoked
certainly I would have
had a fag, a cigarette
a nice soothing smoke
So next time call me
text me and just let me know
you are safe
and on your way home.
