Inspired by the aesthetic pleasures of smoking. I am reformed but felt curious about the charm.

Rebellion at the fingertips…
Is every Mao-suited Chinese man a wannabe beatnik?

Even the anti-hero unknowingly conforms to a borrowed script
succoured by allure.

Exhaled ethereal silver circles of thought,
while plotting…

Ritual rhythms at the Café de Flore,
stillness and motion in retro contrast.

A cowboy in cool contemplation
draws deep,
leaving footprints in the dust.
