Hook, line, and smoke

I just flicked this cigarette
all the way over the wall
and into the courtyard
of the property across the way

it was totally reaction
as I was writing
yet I promised a woman 
just yesterday, that I wouldn’t 
do that anymore.

I feel bad now 
and wish I had 
a cigarette fishing pole.

I guess I could
go down there
jump the wall
and get it myself.

I don’t think I will though
because its not about
that one cigarette

Its about giving myself
a little grief
write a brief
poem about it
or something
in order to move towards
a change in I behavior

Because

1. I understand
2. I promised
3. The only reason I did it
was because it was easy.
