I am trying unsuccessfully <br />To light my cigarette. <br />The lighter does not fire; <br />It is out of gas. <br />Each click exhausts my effort; <br />Each try takes off the hope for light. <br />With each try, <br />I see my life <br />And my feeling <br />For Eileen going <br />Nowhere. <br />Is it really that bad?<br /><br />Atef Ayadi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/effortless/
