smoke signals

you read in an old
dust laden history
book about an indian
warrior who
breaks up with his
girlfriend
by sending her
smoke signals. this
does not bode
well for the indian
princess,
indignant, she
smoke signals back,
you couldn't get
on a horse and come
talk to me
and tell me why
you don't want to
see me anymore. oy
vey. some brave
warrior you are.
you are like so dead
to me now. she wants
to say more, but she
runs out of wood
for the fire, making
the warrior sigh
with relief.
