Ham, Cheese and Brown Onion

Just to my left
A cafe
I’m hungry
Late morning, an active, ‘useful’ morning.

I buy a toasted sandwich
Yes, I could have made one at home
But

No 44 is perched on my small window table.
Moving pictures of Thames people going places along the pavement.

An old bloke
My age
No sure where he should be going
Trousers too big
He’s probably shrunk
He’s happy to just be
To stand there
And not go anywhere

Car stops out pops a guy out pops a dog they both know where they want to go but in different directions.

I finish my chunky toasted sandwich of ham, cheese, and brown onion.
