The cost of knowledge

Light me a cigarette..
smoke it for me, I don't like to take risks.
Would you like a swig of this?
It helps the smoke go down -
excites and revives me from my delerious haunting sight.
Untie my twisted legs and set my wrists free - there is something I am considering grasping onto.
Don't mind if I stutter, don't take too much notice - it's usually only when I stumble.
Excuse me.. you dont mind if I have another one of those cigarettes? Theres a good old mate... Oh I must have forgotten my matches again - but that must be of no importance to you.
Well if you wouldn't mind lighting that for me.. and.. if you could smoke this one a little slower - so I can enjoy it a little longer.
Now that's better.
What was it you wanted?
