The
Cafe
A kaleidoscope of laughter
Danced around
The dinner table
While all of us
Are able
To remember yesterday.
There was joy.
And there was singing,
While the memories
Were bringing
Long-lost dreams
About our future
And the friends
That we once knew.
Now take out the pictures
And the “oohs”
And the “aaahs”
While the keys
Of fancy cars
Tinkle like
A tambourine.
Doesn’t matter
What they’re saying,
What they’re thinking
What they’re drinking,
Cause it’s all
The same this evening
Sitting in
The café.
