It is afternoon. And I have just completed A transaction at the bank. The teller then hands me What feels like A laminated plastic card And she says I am getting a cigar. I think: It must be some promotion … That the card is probably redeemable Somewhere for a cigar. As I am pondering this, She hands me a cigar. It is a large, oval object, Soft, heavy and warm, All padded and bundled up, Feeling like a loaf of fresh-baked bread. There is something numinous about the package, As though it holds Something special or significant. The package exudes a fantastic aroma, A scent of fine cigars. I suppose the cigar Must be coiled up inside the cloth, Coils within coils within coils, That I can feel inside the cloth. But I don’t smoke. I’ll just take it home and roll it out, Light it in an ashtray, And let the fragrance fumigate the house. How funny it would be If people who come to visit actually thought That I smoked fine cigars! I think: Wow, the social benefits of smoking Without having to actually smoke! … It reminds me Of those little candy cigarettes That children play with, To pretend that they are smoking, Just like big people … SC Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have … El Rushbo |

Smiling here - I remember those candy cigarettes. Enjoyed this. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
