5. Coffee on a Saturday Morning

Three long-time souls sit on wicker chairs, round a metal table, under blue parasols.

It’s Saturday morning. Discussing the weather; they agree it’s sunny but cold. Discussing their drinks; they agree they’re too full, as usual, no room for milk.

Sipping, they slurp over hesitations when retelling their stories; the ones they still remember.  

Clothed in their grey and beige they wait. The ultimate will happen. But now they enjoy the moment, watching a young world blur round them.

Finishing their drinks, they discuss the shopping they need; same as last week, same as next week and on, and on.
