Draw in the smoke... |

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.
