Cigarette

Cigarette

The ashes fall to the ground
The way it makes you feel is profound

The smoke conjuring the air
The way you stand there makes people stare

They look at you in disgust
But you just make another cigarette combust

You don't care what others say
As you continue down the alley way

Ahhh Tony bet me to the punch on this one. But I agree, the imagery is astounding. It feels as if something I would read in a book than poetry. Superbly written and awesome effortless structure. I tend to over-complicate my reads so this was very refreshing.
