i tried to do a duplex

I chained smoked an entire pack last night
The smoke mixed with distant starlight

The smoke mixed with my frosty breath
Breathing in and out, inhale and exhale

Breathing in and out, inhale and hold
Swallow the ember and glow inside

Swallow the ember and melt inside
You’re not a star if you don’t burn

You’re not a star if you don’t try
Push yourself to death and still fail

give yourself to death and still live
my lungs ache with tobacco and lies

my lungs ache with existence and wonder
I chain smoked an entire pack last night
