raggedy andy

windswept
like your damn smile
piercing contagious,
washed-up drunkard like.

the snow falls as though
1954 sits outside,
flashing lights

and maddening grins.

who wins?

five minutes.
no empress stopped time,
this is no jester's joke.
this is
five minutes,
every second a wrecking ball.

i guess that in the end,
all that mattered
was our smiles.
(still, i can feel your guilt)
.
