Cigarette Burns

I thought he was the "best" out there... I knew i had lost a great guru. I knew we'd never share that joke over the old hags wearing mini-skirts in the office. I had miles to go. He had run the marathon - many times over. Was he tired? Did he need some water?

I don't think he ever asked. I wish he knew - maybe his subconscious knew, but he didn't.

I remember flicking a smoke of his table and nearly destroying his zippo. And he gave me a good cigarette burn - hehehe - No, he didn't - I kid thee.

Sometimes, we amateurs take our first puff of this world. But, people like him know that a cigarette burns.
