Last Year.
Last year at this time I got sick.
Coughing and sneezing
Disgusting things appearing from out of my throat.
This year kind of the same.
Anyway, last year was pretty bad.
I felt as if a message was being sent
Lungs to Jerry:
Quit Smoking!.
Especially on the weekends,
I'd put that old pipe in my mouth
and smoke all day.
Lillian hated it.
I felt very much that if I didn't quit
that it would kill me.
So after a false start or two
I quit and it's been nearly a year.
I put on some weight.
But my blood pressure
(which was never too bad, really)
was 116 over 64
the last time I went to the doctor's.
I miss it sometimes.
but "I'll live."
