Outside Nikolai’s Café Bar and Restaurant
I found her, or rather
she found me
outside Nikolais café
bar and restaurant ..
It was, whatever it was,
depending on
the time of day or year
and what they had in ..
I was drinking
sun warmed beer,
she was sipping a long
ice cold green tea ..
It was near forty degrees
in the shade,
but there was no shade ..
She came over
and asked for a cigarette ..
I said I don’t,
but thanks so very much
for asking ..
I’m not sure I know you
from Adam
though do I ma’am ..
She just smiled back at me
and so I gave her
what was left in the packet ..
