Tobacco smoke lingers,
A freshly crushed cherry smolders; pollutes.
Laughter from afar,
Across from the vestibule.
Heads turn, uneventful.
Back to the task at hand.
Eating.
Smoking.
Idle Conversation.

Small Talk.
Eavesdropping causes cancer.
Cancer of the ears.
A hand reaches for the salt.

An ashtray falls to the floor.

Tobacco smoke lingers,
A freshly crushed cherry smolders; pollutes.
Laughter from afar,
Across from the vestibule.
Heads turn, uneventful.
Back to the task at hand.
Eating.
Smoking.
Idle Conversation.

Small Talk.
Eavesdropping causes cancer.
Cancer of the ears.
A hand reaches for the salt.

An ashtray falls to the floor.
