Breaking from a

thirty-year habit

of only buying

medium thin green,

today, I bought

brown flavoured Rizla

 

Even though I

never use filters,

prefer it raw,

they don’t taste

quite as liquorice-y

on my own

than smoking liquorice

roll-ups with you

 

Neither that sweet

reverb after inhale

Nor comfort kiss

of eating liquorice
