Johnny sips his latte
the cafe is busy
the coffee baristas
are rushed
but calm
there's an Asian dame
at the next table
dark hair
shoulder length
just seen her
in a quick profile
fingering a cell phone
thin fingers
short blue skirt
black jacket
she eats
a piece of cake
with a fork
nibbles
he watches
notes
her slim body
slim legs
crossed
black pumps
light brown tights
he sips more
wondering her status
married
single
engaged
a lesbian
maybe neither
she turns
and fingers
into her phone
profile Far Eastern maybe
flatter nose
lips dull red
then she turns
and he sees her back
she nibbles more cake
he assumes
then she stands
and gathers
up her bag
and as she walks away
he notes
the ringed finger
and tight a*s
nothing doing
but
it helps
time to pass.
