Outside the only awake
Native jewelry sellers and
Paper man in the middle
Of the street
Selling in both directions
Inside Starbucks
French music competing with
Infinite permutations of size
Strength foam fat flavor blend
Temperature and soy
People arranged as atoms in a
Crystal lattice with mathematical
String lengths between them
Fixing precisely their allowed
Balance of intimacy and privacy
Glances, the human
Equivalent of dog growls,
Inhibit threatened infringements
Of sipping Sunday paper reading
Oxygen using space time

The Day the World Stood Still.
The air,
Pungent with spices,
Sickly sweet
In the summer heat,
Hung,
Immobile;
Stifling.
Lethargic loiterers
Sprawled lazily on pavements and benches,
Sun worshipping;
Gulping,sipping,
Lukewarm liquids,
Water,lager,beer,
No refreshment here.
Too hot today,
Too close to play,
Too still,
No will
To move.

Is this a blog about cheese making?
Blimey, that's a good one! I like it, short and sweet but not sickly so
