By Candy Cain

Static smiles intermissioned by inhibitions.

I see the dams in your eyes;

embarrassed by believing the silver screen set up was non-fiction. 

Friction to spark,

spark to cigarette,

cigarette to ash.

All an attempt to set fire to the crops of memories crab grass.

They believe it because it's on the Internet, or because it's on T.V. When they finally get a reality check, it is rather embarrassing. You are a very sharp writer, darlin'. Rebs:).
