This is really good in content, and the 'scroll-roll' presentation is brilliant, whether 'biblical', or mocking a cigarette roll-up, or both. Your content is always very interesting. I do think 'NEARLY nothing' is a huge point of honesty, even in a rant-type work like this; the writer is still clearly anchored in reality, that nasty unpoetical word. But it makes the whole poem more relate-able to the reader, more universal.
So, IMO, the title is superb, pointing directly to your main point. I enjoy your work very much.
You have definitely found a niche with this kind of delivery Lynn. There is a real lyrical quality to this one in particular.

Thank you Mr P LG for reading and commenting
We all have strong values that are surprisingly weakened by the idea of a cup of tea and a cigarette lol
