Uncle Smoke
February 25, 2026

uncle smokes-anything
smokes anything
wrapping it up
making day-hay

we don’t visit much
except on birthdays
don’t need a lungful
of much of anything

lottery years, pops
always draws short
pulls Cottrell precipitators
power washes ‘em

says uncle doesn’t mind
doesn’t find it harsh
bleaches politics and soot
buries what’s lost
