Pavlov's Theory Proven





















I saw a photo yesterday
Of an old Cigarette machine
Igniting a host of urges from
My 1960’s memory stream

I remembered the noise it made
Dropping packs to the tray below,
Reviving thoughts of my old cravings
I had forgotten so long ago.

I haven’t smoked a cigarette,
Since the year two thousand nine…
Yet my recent strong reaction proves
Pavlov’s theory over time. 

At the ripe old age of thirteen,
I was tethered by adiction's collar...
I sacrificed at Sno-White drive-in,
My every Lady Liberty silver dollar.
