Vice and Beauty
On the corner of Sixteenth and O, Midtown Sacramento, just before the crosswalk, there's a mashed daisy, and sitting an inch away, a smoldering Lucky Strike butt. The sickly sweet perfume of the charred tobacco leaves puffs steadily and whips around and up the wall of the apartments, eventually able to leave a jaundiced stain on the stucco. Whatever caused such a scene, didn't take very long to transpire, but there is one thing to take away from it, for almost anyone.
Smoking can kill, but a broken heart is an instant life stopper.
