Smoking
February 7, 2014
bridge lights
smoke twisting in the wind
curling up from lipsticked mouths
leering eyes
warm and insincere
like the glowing red of the cigarette tips
you watch from the car
with the seat warmers
watching short hair whip in the cruel cold
w***** and the like
there and gone in a second
looking back
all you can see is black in the mirror
except the twinkle of bridge lights
and the faint smell of smoke
unfamiliar and almost tempting
to life you could lose yourself in
but you won't
