The Dark Side

I would like to smoke a cigarette with you.

By doing so, it seems…

we can touch the dark side we have in common.

By doing so, it seems…

we can share a common feeling –

a moment in which pain and joy, dream and reality flash out simultaneously.

It makes us feel we are fully present, here and now.

You are so familiar with this “painful-joy”. You love it.

Two fingers holding the cigarette tight,

touching the dark side we have in common.
