wet cigarettes

riding home tonight the air
               still thick from the storm
smelled like wet cigarettes

music poured out of open doorways
couples stumbling home
               leaned unsteadily into each other

               the breeze whizzing by cool on my
skin still grimy with
coffee &
sweat &
               the damp hovering stickiness

riding home tonight the sky
               grumbled thunder and the air
                              smelled like wet cigarettes
