Vice

I’ve adopted the smoke break.
Minus the smoking.
It started innocently. Just one.
Usually at around three. The time my brain activity nosedives.
Five minutes did it. A quick stroll around the block and I was somewhat ready to pretend to work for two more hours.
But then I started needing more. Two laps around the block. Sometimes some park action.
I’m up to like four non-smoke breaks a day now.
I can't stop.
