Adieu mon cafe enfum?e!

Together we could light up
cigarette and I
and share the counter
ensemble

Together we could inhale the
morning news
the prospect for a boulot
the comings and goings of Benoit
The smoke surrounded us like an
egyptian veil
it gave us direction and punctuated
time

our gests were as regular as menstruation:
the light, the flicker, the toke
we exhaled good and evil
admist espresso, beer and wine
we exhaled woes and bewonderment
while la lune lay low and the stars
shined above

Yet today we are speechless without a butt
void of commeraderie to light one another's
hermetically stuck to our new patches
dans un espoir to alleviate nicotine fever
We are left to leaf today's dry paper
looking for something.

our lips trembling
beseech le pourquoi maintenant?
improre to know why this oral void
hath befallen like a guillotine
why now?
pourquoi maintenant?
