Silent Inspiration

In the Caf�,
on the boulevard
a young woman
and a younger man
are sitting in opposite corners.
Facing the street
intently occupied,
both ignore the coffee
before them.
He writes in his journal.
She reads her book.

He pauses to look at the sky.
He looks sad.
He drops the pen and looks at his
coffee mug, a print of Monet 
encasing cold Latte.
He closes his journal.

The girl puts down her book,
and starts to tap her nails impatiently,
and does not stop until he picks
up his pen again.

Silent acts of friendship
happen quickly
like pretty fishes
kissing.
