Hot Air
Take away coffee
Ah! That’s good. I needed this
cigarette. Had to work for it mind, struggling down all them stairs; it’ll be
worse going up again. 'Course smokers must go outside even if, like now, it’s
raining. There's no consideration.
All the fuss is just a lot of hot
air. Forty a day have done me no harm. Nor Sonia. Having a lightweight baby
actually made things better for her.
Shall I have another ciggie? I
think I’ve got time. No, the disapproving nurse is calling me. Way people carry
on you’d think I was to blame for my son’s chronic asthma.
