Smoke in its Window

Smoke in its Window

I've once heard a story of he or she who became Smoke.
No, not the smoke that comes from the bustling burning of fire
but rather Smoke itself.
The urban suburban horror myth that overtakes you
and you become one with it.
And all it takes is 1 night or 2
under the moonlight dew and you've fallen fast asleep
next to a wide open window.
Along a street if you live,
anyone who knows of the
true or false horror myth
will tell you this...
Do not fall asleep next to a wide open window at night!
Why? Why? Oh my.
Because Smoke is this thing,
this ghoulish gal or guy,
whom,
if you've left your window open,
it will not stop driving by.
It'll sit under your window in its car
and leave it running all night.
Smoking and smogging up the air
and all the fumes
will seep into your room.
If you're not quick to wake up and close that window tight
you'll turn into Smoke itself
and it'll ride off with you in the night.
