Two Words

Written while people watching in a coffee shop

Fast talker

No time

Brisk walker

No lines

Iced coffee

Down it

Sweet toffee

More sugar

Push on

 

[She exits the coffee shop]

 

Foods out

Phone’s out

Filters on

Good shot

Twenty more

Coffee’s cold

Wide smiles

Mind’s hot

Screen baked

Facebook scrolling

No words

Eyes rolling

 

[They exit together laughing]                                  

 

Red cheeks

Redder hair

Awkward gait

Awkward stare

Half smile?

Didn’t see

Turn away

Not today

Drink coffee

Look smart

Grab pencil

Pretend writing

 

Still there?

 

Turn around

 

She’s gone

Definitely smiled

Maybe glanced?

 

Oh well

No balls

No chance

 

[She leaves holding another girls hand, they kiss outside the coffee shop]

ha love it, I can imagine the scene, the people you observed in the coffee shop - neat job, a tale of people watching succinctly told :) - makes me want to do that... think I might.
