Louis S. Cohn Cigar Inc.
Ever since my childhood,
the wooden Indian has protected the smoke shop
from his porch-front perch.
Inside carries all his wampum:
small cylindrical beads, polished shells,
peace pipes, Prince Albert tobacco tins,
aromatic cigars from Castro’s Cuba ,
carved Meerschaum bowls
seasoned to perfection.,
jawbreakers in a glass fishbowl,.
snuff tins, Bugle Boy papers,
imported stogies, climate controlled
in the walk-in humidor,
Phillies Cheroots 2/$.50,
The old warrior grimaces and stares
over his reservation, over and over
beneath the blue Montana sky.
He is old and cranky.
Please do not bother him.
