I might get into bother for this – I’m not encouraging people to smoke! It’s just an observation. We were speaking with someone, recently, who used to smoke rollies, and it was clear that making the ciggie and ‘playing with’ the ciggie, had helped with his thought processes. Now, he took out the tube, one swift toke on it – not the same.
Anyhoo – an observation. As someone with asthma, the smoking ban has been a boon to me, socially, but, there is something about the process involved with a rollie.
Vaping
He’s taken to vaping.
It used to be rollies.
If he was thinking
If he wasn’t sure –
Needed something
To cut through
To surety.
****
Now, it’s a metal tube
A quick toke, and that’s that.
****
The process has gone
The rolling, thinking
Toking, speaking.
****
There’s a difference
Health-wise
Sure.
****
But – all wrong – I know
But – there’s something about………
The way a person holds
Plays with
Uses
A cigarette – especially –
Toking on a rollie.
