smoking mirrors
A sarcastic cackle escapes me.
It's hardly the smoking.
It's always the people.
Their weapons.
Their words.
Everything spoken ill-timed and brash.
I used to fear death. Now it stirs no emotion.
A neurotic cackle escapes me.
Contempt does the choking.
One cigarette after another,
again and again.
Would you look at that —
There, in the stairwell.
It's raining ash.
