Discarded Death Stick

A man walked up behind me with a lit cigarette. He described scouring sidewalks and courtyards for cigarettes with some puffs left on them..he explained that he was out of money and waiting for his next paycheck.."two days away"

He reported that he felt really lucky when he found a discarded death stick that was almost unused..

"some people will take two puffs and put them out"..

I look on the ground differently now
