We are in Los Feliz tonight. outside a crowded bar you stop to light a smoke and under a canvas awning I see the neon light up your right eye. For a moment I thought maybe we were the only two people on the planet. As the wind blew in from the Santa Ana's pushing the smell of Oleander and faded, smoky pine, I balk at the commas of your smile and marvel at the disingenuous smoke patterns that make their way from your teeth only to be carried away with the heat of the city night.
