Lucky Strike

Here comes James

in his green suede jacket

promenading along the street

looking smug

lights a cigarette

Lucky Strike

his last one

believes in good luck

is more unlucky than anyone I know

for his wife

Catherine

is in bed with another man at home

Very light until you drop the hammer. Nice style!

Wow, this was quite the kicker in the end, wasn't it? I'd love to know where you got the inspiration from to write this. Was it experience? Or did you see people and fill in a story line of sorts? Or perhaps a look at your own life through a different perspective? Either way, it's an intriguing piece of work.
