Smoke Rings


The young man with blond scattered beard
And weird, scattered dramatic wit
Relit his pipe of aromatic
Wilshire blend, and then
Drew too deep,
Coughed,
Laughed,
Remarked,
“This is why I never smoke or drink,
Alone. You know I think
Between x-box, youtube, podcasts and texting
I would just inhale the bowl and go on to the next thing.”
And we three nodded,
Watching each other blow slow billowing smoke puffs
Sharing what wisdom was given
Us. Curiously,
Precariously,
Seriously,
Hilariously,
Preparing
For Heaven.
