Live fast, yet eternal
Like an ethereal creature
With the outlook of a vampire
Classic scenery lies within
The depth of your high cheek bones
That carry the weight of pearls
On ivory skin aged from the 1930s
Live fast, young and beautiful
Slender as the tall cigarette
Slightly dangling from the corner
Of your pouting lips
A cancerous stare
As you tap away the ashes
And place it back on the pure
Sophistication of your tongue
