There’s something about cigarettes
you have to
be slim hipped and suck
like you’re
really gonna keep a secret
Osvaldo my tango teacher
emaciated coathangerman
who will die his lungs
fluttering a sparrow banging around
in his chest which is really a lion’s when he dances
or Oliver
midnight online gambler
out of a job thanks to US economy
lack of credit card
nowhere to squirrel the winnings
all virtual
what’s real any more is tobacco
his lips creep inwards and he’s 50 years younger than Osvaldo
and just alike
