CONSTABLE KEEPS
Having a cigarette means to lounge - one has,
by necessity, to gaze out at something, be seen
looking wistfully relaxed and content. Outside the
bars and taverns, all those wheezers sucking in
smoke. You can't just get up and leave.
-
Not too far back, the dark and the existential; the
twisted slovern of John Paul Sartre heaving his
Gitane or Gauloises. Once mankind smoked in
doubt and darkness, and in a crisis of place and
mind. Now, everything is so much lighter;
Daffy Duck and Mickey Mouse, coming soon,
outside a tavern near where you live.
