PASSIVE CONSEQUENCES Seventeen years since I put them on the shelf and now I'm moving out and I see they are still there sitting on the 60's wallpaper that I lined it with that day in nineteen eighty-nine when I stopped smoking. Twenty cigarettes - unopened - where I left them. And on the packet I read that they were made by J.Wix of Baker Street and I recalled that that was in London next to Tussaud's Waxworks and The Planetarium the only place now where city dwellers can clearly see the stars what with light pollution and the dark clouds that hang over England. Time will kill in the end but it begins by ruining your health. |
