I open the creaking balcony door in the evening and enjoy a quiet night cigarette. The smoke is visible a few inches from the ashes, but in a moment it rises to the glittering stars. I just wonder which planet a nicotine vapor molecule could reach. I will travel so far with it too. From this balcony to the end of purple night. Into the unknown. I know I can come back at any time, here is no chance of being bored. And the golden distant stars are my companions in intrigue.
