Café on the Corner
by April Caddigan

He couldn’t afford this,
Probably saved his whole paycheck
But here he was,
At my table again,
One of three I wait on Mondays
The other two were empty.
This is the third Monday
He’s been here
At the same time
As me.

He ordered the cheapest
Item on the menu, just an appetizer
And only the half.
Nothing to drink?
Just the water is enough, thanks.
At least a glass of wine, please?
Not tonight, thanks though.
What about on the house?
It’s good wine.
Okay

I brought him the best.
It’d come out of my check, but
I almost felt sorry
Knowing he didn’t have money
It’s not that he looked poor
He just didn’t seem like
A guy with extra cash.
Would you join me?
… I could sit
Cool.

I think it's a hallucinogenic image: it changes all the time depending on how you look at it; nicely shot and edited equivalence · 2012-04-27: 16:31

Muito interessante esta edição! Será que o café neste estabelecimento também vem amarelado? :) Unchained · 2012-05-01: 13:48

Etranges les couleurs de cette photo? HDR? SM2012 · 2012-05-02: 14:56
