Smoking chimneys against the night,
Boozing and laughing in the face of fear,
Drinking and eating without fear,
Spurning and smoking with ease.
The moon shining brightly in their eyes,
Their faces pale in the moonlight,
Their misty breaths frothing in the night,
Not yet gone with the sunrise.
Myself stuck staring alone again,
Silent and stale forever when?
Shall I perceive how to begin
Again, again – believe again!
Friends easing together into day,
Amiable acquaintances on their own ways,
Catching the cars, catching the trains –
Flying flags to believe again.
Again, again – believe again,
In the power of death, in the power of man,
Wish and hope and spite and sin!
Friends smoking against the night,
Talking of whatever it is that they might.
Wishing of whatever it is that they want,
A taunt, a taunt, a taunt and a flaunt!
