Carbon Monoxide -Co- Week 3: Talkin' 'Bout My 'Noxide

The steady pull of temptation-- a tease on my resolution. When I can sleep, I take what dreams afford me. In these dreams, my 'noxide comes to ward me. Her smoke is an invitation. my conscience falls for the con science of my imagination. I give in and reality spins. Between the sleeps, I lie in sanity. I wonder: Did I give into my humanity? did I'd err? Is that smoke in the air?

There is smoke in the air. Second hand smoke... And it harms. So, save yourself from more lung damage and keep resisting. If not for yourself, then for those around you. Your writing is quite good.

Its takes a man to admit when he is wrong. I felt the wrath of one man for 3 years. I was only 2 inches tall when I left him. It took a lot of Gods intervention to keep me from making a very permanant decision. I am so thankfull you realized it in time. You are very precious in my book.-AA
