a pack of luckys

who didn't smoke
back then. each with his
own brand,
his own style of stamping
a new pack
hard against his hand.
the strike of the match,
the inhale,
the rings they would blow,
at thirteen,
cagneys and bogarts
already
in their striped polo
shirts
in the shadows of
the playground
where bad girls would come
around.
