Picture by Nicholas Sweet Rogers
I smoked my first cigarette at 13 years old. My girlfriend stole a pack of cigarettes from her dad. We went to a dry barley field to hide from adults and have our cigs in peace. We started a fire by accident and a truck driver that was driving by finding us. He threatened to tell our parents (although he didn't know them) and we panicked, put out the fire, and ran home.
Thank you for reading my poem,
