This is just devastating in its simplicity, Susie. I am thinking now of how most murders are committed by family members. Excellent micropoetry with a macro that won't quit.
I agree with Charleen. Smack! Yes, it's a great putdown, as Jinksy said, but I hope this is just poetry, not reality, or at the very most just exaggeration for emphasis. The reality would be unbearable, not to mention utterly revolting. K
You have described a rather poisonous relationship so well by focusing not on the people themselves but the object which has caused displeasure, and the thought at the end says it all.

What a put down! Short, sharp and oh, so telling. :)
SNAP for hating smoke, but this isn't you, is it?
Very sharp and a little scary.
What's this about an interview? Radio? Podcast? Where?
