Conversations over gum and nicotine

I have something to tell you.

*chew. suck. blow. chew*

Do you want to hear it?

No. I don't.

Are you sure?

Yep.

Do you know what it's about?

I think so, yeah.

And you really don't want to hear it.

Ignorance is bliss.

And it's folly to be wise?

Absolutely.

Then you're a fool.

Why because I don't care? That makes me a fool?

You're such a liar. You do care.

*chew. suck. blow.*
I don't want to know.

So you're washing your hands clean. Just like that. Not a care for anyone.

Yes. And fuck you if you think I'm insensitive.

...

...

What have you become? Who the fuck are you now?

*suck. suck some more. blowing and blowing and blowing.*
You tell me.
