Can I get you something?
Nothing: nothing at all -
the lacework smoke from that
cancer stick placed between
your lips is enough for now.
The red spot clicks into place and
sets the reels spinning. My
words stagger into auto-pilot,
landing on the worn-out table
from some insular nook in my cheek.
Brain-cells fumble to make a
plunge for the brakes -
playing hide and seek in
the back of my throat, peeking
out from somewhere behind the knot.
Whilst rinsing my wet wipe hands
with one-another, the cassette
snaps to an abrupt stop.
Can I get you something?
CanYes: give me anything.
