Before, after

He climbed into the back of the car,
lit a cigarette with a match
and watched as ashen smoke filled
the space between glass and leather.
As the car danced through traffic
he rolled a window down half way,
let the city lure the grey ribbons
into its arms
and blinked more often than he needed to.
It was a little before 6.30.
