Back Next 5 Star Hotel

I puff content
in my pink-lit suite
safely breathing in
multitudinous
sounds and sights
In the short second
between letting fall my ash
re-puffing my cigar
Nature's hussy
lifts this tower
breaks the windowpanes
drowns me
wild with thirst
in warm rain

In total disbelief
I am blown away
