Cigarette Break
by Mike Soper
above the walled courtyard
clouds are torn to long ribbons
a symphony of discarded breaths in the cold

fearless bird sifts through the trash
it's head a piston of oiled feathers

girl with a pistol tattoed on her hip spits

schizophrenics sit alone
carry on conversations
sacreligious shuffling jukeboxes
messiahs of chemical misfire under the wing of medication

but there's no angelic dna here
the joke's on us
and we all know gods punchline
is silence.
