The contrast between
high thinking and low living
as measurred in cigarette butts
while time is running in
and running out … in & out.
In dialectical opposition
things are evolving
after all he’s still breathing
and smoking and kicking.
The king of the time being
will soon be choking!
As we sit and stare
at time running out
one more cigarette
is what this is about.
We do not have to
rave and shout
but on this issue
we have no doubt
that if he quits
he is in
or else
he is out!
