Smoke
Still-boned and walking tall
Singing backwards and talking forwards
Hot young face
A hot young case
Of chameleon clothes and highlights at noon,
Crossfire guitar and petals in bloom
Clock on his wrist, hourglass in his eyes
Keeps time with his step
The clock hands tick and catch on the sidewalk grooves
And he settles for a smoke
And thinks about the girl,
The car,
The top hat,
And the cane.
