Her whole family hates smoking.
\nShe told me one day window-shopping
\nfor puppies. I had one going at the time,
\nand she said, “My whole family really
\nhates smoking.” I nodded and said,
\n“Okay.” I didn\u2019t really know what that meant,
\nthough. Did they sit around the dinner table
\ntaking turns saying: “It\u2019s a nasty habit.” “Yes,
\na nasty habit.” “Such a nasty habit.”
\n“Don\u2019t they have any respect for their bodies?”
\nThey must have been pretty committed.
\nAnd so was Mona. And so
\nshe dumped me. Then, get this,
\nMatt says he sees her out
\nthe next night with another guy\u2014
\nand this one\u2019s got a cigarette in his face.
\nI couldn\u2019t believe it when he told me.
\nThe guy was blowing smoke rings as they sat
\nalone together at a caf\u00e9. Then he reached out,
\ngrabbed the rings and placed them
\nover Mona\u2019s hands like bracelets.
\nI could have done that.<\/p>\n
