Mourning café
mouths forming
frowns
sullen stern
sipping sustenance
hands clasped snugly
stubby fingers entwined
encircling ancient ceramic mugs
eerie fluorescents cast
muted grey undertones
emphasize the dark orbs of blue and brown
peering through hazy panes
a hurried passerby
still curious
momentarily
diverts eyes
to business sections, political diatribe, gossip columns
diverts minds
from bills past due, negligent wives, insecurities
neon flashing hands flag the start
race to the finish of this day
just a billion blinks away
to envisioned freedom
to literal confinement
