Smoke

Tobacco and marijuana

Smoke hangs, swirls

and curls in a sun beam

those who have inhaled it,

then blown it out of lungs again,

look at it with young wonder,

thinking that it means something.

Years and miles further on

Sunlight shines through

Smoke from a chimney

Making dapped patterns

On the tarmac carpark below.

One person watches this

Another is gone.

Smoke only means this for a moment.
