    Gosh, so many of us as writers must have been there, at least once, with that mad sublime ridiculously long quantum-defying cigarette ash holding on against Newton's apple!

    Wonderful imagery, I feel it's being downloaded right now from a 3-D printer, thank you! Hardcore poets still exist!

    Well, I'll leave everyone to check it out more thoroughly in parts one and two regarding:

    Ha – I love it! There is almost a plea from the smoker to the cigarette to hold on another few seconds until he (or she!) finishes the line and then the cigarette will be tapped and its ash deposited in the correct place…but just not at this minute! Great tension in this.
