[yo bro, you got a cigarette?](https://pic8.co/sh/WWA4zX.jpg) '*I only smoke menthol cools.*' or "The Whites" I have been there and seen, what becomes of man. as the tide goes out to reveal the dregs at the bottom of the sea. little more than open sewer the final form of man perhaps once supposed destined to attain the stars gasping the last, as the cold, the black of inevitability washes over the white one last. never to be again. we moved forward, breathless, always forward. to reach the next goal, the next kill, the next territory our momentum was our blindness, and it carried us to our unseen demise. stranded on the beach of fate. onlookers of history, awkwardly agape with mild interest, or surprise at the last gasps, the vanishings of another dying race on the shores of the garbage dump of time. our tombstone was a seagull corpse with a six pack ring around its neck. and a gmo grapes plastic wrapper that evaded hungry seaturtles for 5000 miles to end up here, with us. the fine print reads "grown in california. packaged in china." the manufacturers label proudly proclaims in rainbows "made with pride."
