Cryptograph.

My  poems  are  ruined
cities,  a  hiatus  of
rusting,  abandoned  cars—
that  silence  before  a
getaway:  the  perfect
murder  of  a  syllable...
the  flawed giving-birth
to  a  verbal  child—
                                the  imperfect
concept  of  an  original
point  of  view  or  quiet
whisper  in  picking  a  lock....

Smoking causes cancer—

Smoking  causes  cancer—
and  no-one  seems
                                     to  care,
as  if  cigarettes  were  trees...
                                 a  book
is  made  of  wood  like
the  match...  It  
                                consumes
itself  and  dares  to  steal
a  life—
                 the  flame  quenched,
                   its  memory
lingers
                on  as  smoke,
                                the  Word
we  write  just  turns  to
                                ashes.
