The ashtray

 Thin human pretender attempted ambition
The snide expression merciless heart
Looming shadows looking for entry
Because a man is nothing more than a portal

He swears he can enter heaven or hell
Yet heaven and hell enter him
swirling a storm of hallucinations
a swarm of self induced euphoria

He is the raw container vulnerable
The flesh vessel naked unprotected
yet he thinks he has arrived at
some righteous destination

The cigarette flicks itself
ash and ember spray over
He holds in these experiences
until the the filter is burnt

That destination he seeks a cosmic joke
Awakening inside an infinite laughing fit
observing the world slow motion
running slipping spilling backwards into the past

shadowss applause from edge of memory
parallel they observe the nightmare
drenching themselves in the fright of sweat
streaming down from the pretenders head
