While I step up to the dirty counter,

.

The one that separates the teller

.

And I

.

With a sheet of bullet proof glass -

.

.

And while I wonder, after

.

Deep seated philosophical lectures

.

And the highest exhibition 

.

Of kindness, possible,

.

Within the smallest syntax

.

And the tightest verbal differential,

.

.

I practically shout:

.

.

.

"Smokes!"

.

.

.

And just hear that famous Tom Waits quote:

.

.

.

"My Father was an exhaust manifold"

.

"And my mother..."

.

.

"Was a tree."

.
