a friend of my sister's boyfriend
nicknamed Joker
ashed his cigarette
into the beer
of this asshole
German exchange student
in order to instigate
a confrontation
and it was stunning
to my 15-year-old self
not only because
it was so effective
but because the move
was so simple
even elegant.
I would later co-oped it
during my own times
of collegiate conflict
the difference being
I smoked clove cigarettes
(because they were black,
burgeoning artist that I was)
it's utility was undiminished.
