poems to read while smoking cigarettes: another pack

This is a book of sixty-two poems.

They were written by a person named Jackson R. Xenon. He has strong opinions about Tuesday mornings, the neighbor he has never spoken to, bars at 1am, parking lots in the afternoon shade, and what happens when someone reads your message and decides not to reply.

The poems are short. Some are very short. A few of them are aware they are poems, which the author considers intentional.

Here is one, included here as evidence that the book contains poems:

the description you are reading the description of a book the book has sixty-two poems this is not one of them or maybe it is the author is not sure either way, the book has more

Are these good poems. Probably not. But you are still reading this description, which suggests something about you that the author respects.

The book is divided into five sections. The first is about mornings. The last is about endings. Everything in between is about the middle part of days and nights when nothing is happening and everything is.

Find a quiet corner. Crack the spine. Read the poems.

- Jackson R. Xenon, author of this book
