Bad Habits

My first memorized poem comes much from the inspiration of Charles Bukowski who was more than willing to admit his flaws as a person. But also I stole lines from Zadie Smith. White Teeth is one of her titles and she describes the English boarding school youth as chain smoking fags in the school alleyways: “halves, saves, butt, roach” combine our slag with her ideas of youths burning life by any means for excitement and connection.

Please Enjoy!
