Blue Smoke Standing
like a waiter’s nightmare at a luau
like plump hands on the honeymoon table
folding up three seconds in eternity
like mixing then folding of cut
salt raised from the lake, leaving
like thin palm rounds scarcer than hunger
like ordering rounds of city in a half-purse moon
like the rolling occasion of unscheduled leaving
like blue smoke standing
