Sad man
Chain smoking cigarettes
and
gazing longingly at
deep, clear blue water,
Why are you so tortured inside?
I feel your pain, your anguish
your desire
burning to get out and fly
along the breeze of dusky clouds.
But, it's better, I've learned,
to walk around, explore
and
be
HAPPY.
Maybe that's why you've departed from
your lonely poolside table.
Or maybe you need
another
smoke.
