What sucks is when the one hitter is clogged and you're standing there in the bathroom with the fire from your Bic lighter burning your thumb as you try to suck on the metal tube with no success but you try and you try because sometimes it suddenly gives in and a bunch of tar and ash takes off like a bullet to your tonsils giving you a sore throat but this time you just suck and suck until your chest hurts so you take the cotton off the ends of a Q-tip and try to push it through like a lollipop stick but this impacts the resin more and now you have a piece of Q-tip stuck up there too so you search your entire apartment cursing because you're a writer and who has ever heard of a writer without a metal paperclip so you take the ink tube out of your Bic pen and try to stick that up in there but it is simply too large and meanwhile you haven't noticed that during all the desperate searching the wood box has tipped over and your pot is now spilled on the bathroom floor and it is contaminated with dust and mildew and pubic hairs and suddenly you remember that you once had a paperclip a long long time ago at your old apartment so you drag all the cardboard boxes out of the closet and start searching and damn if you don't find it in the Stoli box sealed by duct tape in a plastic zip lock bag with the staples and thumb tacks a nice strong silver paperclip that you unbend so that it becomes a somewhat straight metal wire and clenching your teeth and with some wrist action you manage to push the black sticky goo out of your one hitter and then you notice your shit is spilled all over the place
