A cup of coffee
A slice of ham
A pot of milk.
I'm sitting in the morning café.
Music's playing.
Manager planning.
Couples talking.
At the rim of the counter.
People are stirring.
Waiting maids flushing.
Life's buzzing.
I stir my coffee.
Workers are going.
Businessmen coming.
Cash changes hands.
I'm sick of the coffee.
Leaving the café I feel lonely.
The business was heavy.
But loneliness is worse.
On my way home I can feel it.
