Talk


- I thought you didn't take sugar in your tea.
-Well, you never wore funny golfer caps either.
-Are we here to fight?
-I am here for the sugar bowl.
-Wow, isn't that sweet of you!
-I'd smile at that, but Diabetes at this age could be fatal for you.

Silence.
Occasionally punctuated by soft sips of tea and the whirring of the cappuccino machine.
Somewhere across the window, street lights make love to the rain water.
Somewhere on that table, a sugar bowl lies untouched.
Traffic lights turn red on the threads of a golf cap.
And the radio plays songs of love.
