Another One of Those Café Moments

Neville

Another One of Those Café Moments

 

The café was not exactly

heaving

but was not empty either

and for

some reason or another,

the jukebox

only played old sixties

   number ones ..

Then after taking breakfast

as shy as

I then was, I watched her

shaking off

excess salt from nimble

   fingertips ..

With eyes down, one more

thimble

  full of tears was filled ..

That was

indeed, the moment when

I realised

I did not like myself at all,

nor what

 I have since then become ..

Blinded by

her beauty but oh’ so very

   fucking dumb ..

      Well, it couldn't have been KP in the cafe - beauty?! lol.

      • Neville



        I think it could have been .. Sometimes one doesn't see what is write in front of them .. I'm talking about beauty, not about the litter tray .. I presume you do have one ..

        • orchidee

          I'm cruel - so you saw an old trout come into the cafe? Squeak, squeak, got my litter tray! lol.

              Shy boy. I always liked them best. That’s because I was a shy girl. You took me to the scene. I recognized it. You didn’t notice me. I was in the corner drinking a vanilla milkshake. Have a fab weekend Neville.

                ...................Damn, that was you .. I just thought I had no chance .. then you were gone, but not forgot .. 💜

              • Doggerel Dave

                That focus on physical beauty - something I've fought against within myself (among a number of other discomforting characteristics I have no intention of disclosing here) for most of my life.......
                Thanks for the prompt, Neville.

                  I imagine if you had applied yourself with a tongue like that you would have been invited to many a party sir dog .. Neville

                  Wonderful words Neville, took me back to those days in the sixties where music was good and the girls were so good to look at by a shy one like me.

                        Your welcome Neville,

                        Some womens beauty is so stunning,

                        With cool and beautiful songs
                        Reynaldo
