Draw in the smoke and with the motion of a finger,
shake off the lazy fireflies, which often linger
To burn to ash. Cold bathroom lights reveal your flaws,--
The bald spot in your hair, the crooked nose...
Breathe out the smoke, and nothing’s to be seen,
except the rows of plastic bottles, blue and green,--
colognes and creams and other useless stuff,
which you still use in hopes of luring in true love.
The mirror slowly then unveils the comical projections, --
your old man’s face, so full of guile and deceit,--
thus streetlights watch their own reflections
in drying puddles on the street.
