2012, 6*, drum, eating, expression, Haywards Heath, music, pink, portrait, sound, windows, writing
two fat ladies
chk klak klip
on one half of the table
by the window
two skinny lattes wait
the folded newspapers
definitely wait
while the scones are loaded
marg, no butter
raspberry bottom lip out
‘pop’ blackberry jam ‘pop’
small pots dainty fingers
ser vie ettes
sitting back the plates are held
and looking down the road
at something they chew
in unison
–p0p–
all the while
and after they have gone
on the other half of the table
the student
her shopping all done beside her
reads the page of the booklet
then writes a paragraph
pen flipped up big letters
pink highlight headings
pen replaced plap
satisfaction while the café music
snare drums
and never reaches
the chorus

Haywards Heath wormhole: the end
music wormhole: the spectre
pink wormhole: celebrate
sound wormhole: duck calls
windows wormhole: Batman 168
writing wormhole: “write, let’s break / outta here!”
You’ve captured the quite(ish) sonic texture of a coffee shop so well…
(did i mention i work in one?) (….pshshSHSHshchchwhchwhchwhchshsh…)
…much sonic beverage for thought….
