coffee spoons
coffee spoons His eyes stung from a lack of sleep. The sour small of his body had ceased to offend him as he made his way to the sink full of unwashed dishes, pawing through it for a cup to rinse then fill. He scratched idly at the scabs on his legs. Pulling a shirt, jeans from a pile on the floor he hooked them with a hand, stepped sideways, pissed into the foul toilet, poured a pail of water to chase it out, avoided the mirror, the shower. In a scant 3 minutes he was out the door, his hands in his pockets, back hunched, head down, he moved quickly. A shadow against the brick , a reflection in the glass, nothing more. Invisible almost though people seemed to sense him, move aside to let him pass. In his hand was a bent piece of cardboard. Today was one of the first days that the sun had shown up in over a week. People were dawdling on their way to wherever., his pace was even, steady, skirting those who stood to relish the warmth, the budding of the trees, the gentle breeze spreading the sweet lilac scent over the sidewalk from behind the prisons of the gated houses. Swaths of lawn so green it stunned the eyes. He took his place on the landing with all the others. Men in suits, dressed for purpose, silver containers of coffee rising, falling to lips pursed, papers folded, eyes carefully averted. All so studiously avoiding everything. Scanning the crowd for anything, his eyes stopped on a woman in a soft blue dress,leaning against a pillar, eyes closed as if seeking just a few more minutes of sleep. She made him wonder, was something here after all? The rumbling of the train pulled her from her somnolence, stiffened her into nothing more or less than all the others, her face becoming ordinary, stern. his eyes jerked away. As the train neared, he stood as they did, expectant. Before it began to slow, the woman screamed. “what Got him was Noth Ing & nothings exAct Ly what any One Living (or some Body Dead… Could Hardly express…" e.e. cummings You cannot conceive the many without the one. |
