Creepy Guy

Day 196 prompt: Creepy

English: cigarette butts

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

you are always there

any day any time any weather

leaning in the doorway
polluting your garage
with perpetual ribbons
of cigarette smoke
tapping ashes
into a Bud Light can

greasy mullet dripping
toward a threadbare tee shirt
under your Members Only jacket
which must be 20 years older
than your skinny jeans
and Puma high tops

on the wall
of that smoky garage
I suspect there hangs
a tally sheet
where you log
the comings and goings
of every neighbor

you are always there
