Smoke Filled Room

Smoke Filled Room

A Poem by The Silver Chord


Frigid as ice, smoke filtering through the air, dark room covered in paper and clothing, the young man is on his last cigarette.
Wondering what he is going to do with his life, he contemplates his options.
Get a job, find a girl, have a good life.
or.
Stay unemployed, have no one to love, and die lonely.
Seems like a pretty clear-cut decision, but is it going to be easy to take option A?
While he ponders over this matter, he finds a bright ray of light, an idea of epic proportions. 
"Maybe I can live life however I want," he thinks to himself. "I can do what I want, and still be happy."
But alas, his days are numbered. What he doesn't know is that on the way to an interview a few days into the future, his life will end with the final sounds of screeching rubber and rolling metal.
