his life was extinguished
like a cigarette tossed in a toilet
is a line I wrote a while back
but have yet to find a place for
cigarettes don't go out
they're put out
and when they are put out
in something wet like a puddle
I think of a snake
and the start of its hiss
but anyways I like the line
and just want to be able to put it out there
I thought about writing a murder mystery
creating characters and putting them on pages
just to kill off the protagonist
just to snuff him out
just to use the line
just to put me out of my misery
