Burning Cigarette (( Spoken Word ))

Burning Cigarette (( Spoken Word ))

By: Julia L. Clark

 

 

 

Strolling,

The flames

To the lighter

of my cigarette.

The corvette

Of fresh wet paint smiles

and people hiding off

In the trees of love.

As my smile

Just stepped out the

Bath tub and

Dried off agony.

As it’s a habit

To put on fashion show

Kodak flash deodorant

When I have funky nicotine

Breath with a off guard pose.

Suppose I be a top model

And in full throttle

Drink the bottle of beauty

Curse, but before I do

Let me read the label of

Black and white side

Affects so I will know

The reason on the hold

Up of my royalty

Check. But the umbrella

Ella said run like a thief

In the night are you

Will be caught up by

The mob gangsters of rain.

But my mentality

Is to old to grow unfroze,

So I take the expressions in

My black and white expressions

And let you read my ashes

In everyday section ,

Of head line poetry news

Have you lately looked

Under the elegant of my neo

Soul shoes. I have the eyes

Of a story and a smile

That speaks in I am

Beautiful glory,

But you haven’t even given

Me a chance now have you?

And you haven’t even

Offered me your courtesy

And give

The opportunity

Of let me

Learn more about

Your flames ,

As you are

A photographer

Giving direction

To the lighter in

My face expression

Cigarette.

    Intriguing

    This was an interesting look into life
    and people. How they relate to things such
    as habits which are as much a part of life
    as breathing. All I can say is intriguing
