Nicotine

You ask me
What you mean            to me

How do I riddle this?

My words are as empty and used up as the oil drums around me,
scattered like toys in a child's nursery.

Signs warn faceless men of kerosene,
Alarms,
Fire hazards.

Your eyes warn me to stay close.

City hall, pall mall, nicotine.
Your words are an unseen drug.
