Smoke and the Mirror

He told me I stunk like my mother, who smoked Winston Red, always burning Oslo Orange lipstick rimmed filter, puckered, sucking pomp. I wore a shower cap over my damp hair pleading with her not to smoke on the short drive to school; failed class after class worrying about how I smelt.
