Poetry Slam - "Cigarettes"

My first piece for my poetry slam at Montclair State University

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

(I have this problem when it comes to approaching women:
I don't.
Well, I do, but sometimes I fumble on my words,
and sometimes, they get filtered,
and its so damn frustrating...
Okay, I suck.
My repetoire is limited to this one, crushed up
prepackaged pick-up line that I so hesitantly pull
from the back of my throat:
"Y-y-ou g-g-ot a smok-k-e?"
