Secondhand smoke does for him
\nwhat madeleines did for Proust.
\nAt the carwash he lingers near
\na woman puffing on a cigarette<\/p>\n

waiting for the conveyor to disgorge
\nher SUV. He\u2019s back at his house
\nwith his chain-cigar-smoking father
\nand chain-cigarette-smoking mother<\/p>\n

and all the windows closed because
\nthe air conditioning is always running.
\nHe goes over to the woman and asks
\nher, politely, to blow smoke in his face,<\/p>\n

the way Bette Davis does in the movies.
\nShe looks at him, mutters something
\nand walks away, taking his house
\nand his mother and father with her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
