WATCH AND STARE.
Johnny likes the back corner seat in the cafe
it gives a good view of those entering and leaving
and a good view of the baristas as they work
at the bar especially the Clara Bow
lookalike with her black hair and cute cut
and dark eyes and thin almost
indecipherable smile and in the background the piped Baroque music
or sometimes jazz setting feet to tapping but this day
the barista is the short girl with the Italian twang
who gets the orders right on cue and who knows
your requirements before you say on a good day
the tattooed barista has gone his favourite gaze
to watch her work and talk and smile and the glitter
in her eyes she works elsewhere
for other men to watch and stare.
