a hint of mint

i'm not good
at names,
or faces, but i am good
at smells.
like a hound dog
i remember
people better that way.
the perfume,
the cologne,
the garlic,
the damp clothes
taken
out of the dryer too soon.
the mint gum,
the hair
dye
or spray starch,
the red wine,
or booze.
the cigarette breath.
cigar smoker, oh yeah,
i remember you.
