Smoke filled room

  

“I was just sitting here thinking”

my imagination a covert negativity

watching blue miasma with 

“the thrill has gone” interjecting

to spoil as I puffed and reached

to tip my ash, left-over-right

pausing to an easiness from a crying

guitar riff I straightened my glasses

as my fingers tormented keys

waiting for an upbeat to change of mood

to take it from… well just take it from

with a slip and a slide it kicked in

and my feet began to shuffle; knees bouncing

“all the loving is loving all the kissing is kissing”

I was out of step but howls of blues

permitted me to drift none-the-less

lighting another cigarette I followed

the smoke as it meandered around the room

some one was looking for “one good man”

in amongst the slide as I squeezed an ease 

and so lazed in haze of a smoke filled room.
