Prompt...blanket,covering or covered
A blanket of nicotine
sitting at the desk
coughing and spluttering
the reek of cigarette smoke
wafting in through the window
enough to kill a brown dog
mongrels to the left chainsmoking
mongrels to the right chainsmoking
hanging out of windows
a xmas tree of lit fags
dropping like fire rain
from heaven upon the place beneath
on my car
an endless shuffle of itnerants
Right,I'm sealing all the windows
I 've got this covered
forgot to take into account the need for air
one needs to breathe in a Sydney summer
OK (cough).... I'm moving out(cough) today!

ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate secondhand smoke?! Good luck with the move.
P.S. WV is "alloutra"!
Heading to the "outback"?
ReplyDeleteI love the "enough to kill a brown dog"! I am such a cigarette hater...
Cynthia 'to kill a brown dog'is one of our

I didn't know the Aussie expression, but even without it, the images here are great:
