Party of One

Alone with her cigarette
She adorns her front steps
Sunshine glistens off
Premature hair
With both hands, she
Caresses her silent
Companion
A nicotine fix.

Katie... I sat in this pose to get my daughters attention in her teen years. It was so much more powerful than a lecture,she did quit in her own time frame.
This stranger was observed on my drive to work.
