every flicker reflecting off the puddles on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a moment these are the only movements in view,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
until a car under the veil of night comes round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car that comes to a stop is an old rugged Polara Pursuit,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the door swings open to let out an old gentleman in a black-as-tar suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He takes his dormant hands from his pockets to pull a cigar and a light,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
takes a second to look around before taking the cigar to his lips and ignite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nicotine hits and the tar burns through his mouth and down his neck,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
smoke fills the air as he patiently waits hoping he wasn’t given a rain check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Embers burn off of the cigar into the night sky fading back to the stars,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the distant sound of the road echoes with the sound of passing cars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
