I Either Do Or Don't

She's caramel in his arms

I look away

humming a song about forget me

everywhere I look is someone like me

heart in the fire

A friend called me for coffee today -- we sat in the shop and watched the world walk in for its light and sweets or cream no sugars. Kids and adults and fat women with too-red hair. Uniforms and bad pants and clicking high heels marched past.

I love caffeine.
