Cigarette In the Shadow

"CIGARETTE IN THE SHADOW"

Humpty fell off the wall. 
those around him laughed, 
cried and became hungry 
for his misery. 
the wolves will cry sheep 
as they dance in the rain 
with the worst cold they've 
ever had. 
the anorexic become obese.
the obese become anorexic. 
Casio watches it's resistance 
against water. 
my waitress wears black 
as the homeless become livid. 
never give the homeless 
cold hollandaise sauce. 
admire the piss that 
leaves your body as you let 
it go. 
at one time 
you had it all.
