081413 #worm You have to make a decision. There comes a time in the life cycle of any smoke break, when you know it's time to stub out the butts and go do something else. Temporarily you may be tempted not to--maybe for a moment you feel as if you could just waste there forever, smoking and knowing secret things, until the space cows come home in a capsule. But if you did that, and some self-preserving part of you won't forget this, your smoke breaks would lose their potency. Then you'd have to start taking non-smoke breaks, and what the hell would be the point of that? No, better to ash the last ash, stretch, stand up, glean what crippled pleasure you may out of the temporary dizziness laced with an edge of nausea (what the fuck, why do we do this to ourselves?), and actually go do something--if for no other reason than to earn your next smoke break.
