His mouth slightly open
Letting a ghost escape him
His straw hat tipped over his eyes
His hair was everywhere
We both watched the cloud he created
Vanish
Neither of us smiling nor frowning
I looked around the room
His whole room was him
It was just as cluttered as his mind
He was standing above me, a high person joke
Escaping his lips
I realized he was a child inside
Hidden in a world of smoke that
Put his mind at ease

We stood in the window
I, lost in thought
He took a drag and blew a puff
Of false happiness
We swayed back and forth as one
To the beat
I looked out for a sign, was this wrong?
We were illegal but it felt so right

He inhaled his stress reliever and exhaled
His hate for his family’s past
He sat on the stool rather than standing
He was looking out the window
Not at the plain houses or the simple evergreens
I just wanted to know what was inside

The smoke fluttered out the window
He was still there but with
A new girl
This girl blew smoke like him but only
Like she was an exotic dragon
He wrapped his arms around her
Skinny girl waist
He said something to make her smile
And he never thought once about me

Smoke danced gracefully out the window
The smoke drifted away
It was my last time there but I
Didn't know yet
And he took another drag
And I looked out the window
Hoping to see the sign that never came.
