CIGAR

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Sometimes words trip off your tongue

careening to my ear

in a sick mistranslated game of Telephone.

Sometimes the dreams you tell are nothing more than neo-absurdist backdrops

and the images were just in movies the night before.

Sometimes the passion fruit just happens to be blue.

Sometimes when I say I'm too busy to see you

IT JUST MEANS THAT I'M BUSY

and nothing more.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Not tonight, though.
