the guy beside me
reeks of tobacco
wonder if I am
inhaling nicotine
we sit in a doctor’s
waiting room
I wonder what
is waiting for him.

This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
The flow
concise poignant and effective. I was there with you. i find the last line funny, but with another emotion attached.. deeper
When I am faced with a wait in a doctor’s office. I usually take along a pad so I can write. This was one of those times.
I couldn’t believe how strong the tobacco smell was on the guy. Not a smoke smell, but tobacco smell. We were rubbing elbows as I wrote it. I was wondering if he could see what I was writing. You are right about the last line; glad you got it.
