a man dressed for arctic weather
with a scarf around his neck
and 30 degrees centigrade
sitting on a bench
talking to someone invisible
one guy slip his hand lovingly
into the back hip pocket
of his boyfriend's jeans
a young man
with a wild look in his eye
itching his nose
incessantly
because of something
he must have put up it
a woman say a prayer
and wipe her spoon and knife
very carefully with a yellow napkin
before she drank her coffee
and sliced her roll into many equal parts.
