Breakfast

a table for one
in the corner of the room,
leave me with
opportunity to see who is
at the Charles,
and I doubt they are
tourists like me,
who are not touring
but wasting away the day
with a muffin and tea
just watching
all the suits and dresses
with their
laptops and phones
pretending
to be serious and feeling
fortunate just to be here...
instead of elsewhere
wherever
elsewhere might be.
