Smoke Break
By: Andrew Guerrero on 10/9/2002; 2:56 AM

Seated in a crusty painted stool
once guiltless of unruly work.
Serene is the view
the way drops
patters at my exposed hip.


The sky is grey
sister to the lonely azure heavens
brother to Winston,
trapped between my rattling fingers.
Embers blazing petite.


Rain persists in its
undying purpose. Scouring
the earth, muddying the
land. In the roof gutters above dilapidated
like a shoe, destined to wrens and their offsprings.

and for some reason, going back to re-read the poem I just realized it was called "Smoke Break." Please, hold your applause, I know I am a genius already. Well, at least it means your image of smoking a cigarette was potent enough that you didn't even need the title. Right? Yeah...
