Thoughts
I was watching
Bruce Lee
Blindfolded
He was twirling
His nunchucks
With such blinding speed
That it was a whirl
Like formless vapor
A man was standing
Exactly three feet away
In his trembling mouth
Was a cigarette
Bruce did a back flip
Several kicks into the air
And then swung
His deadly weapon
Knocking the cigarette
Out of the man’s mouth
And after careful
Contemplation
I said to myself
Secretly
“What a waste of a smoke”
