Caffeine Fix (for Alicia)
Ironic that we spend the odd lunchtime sat where Ruth and
Nichola once worked and where I’d arrange to meet them for lunch
As we partake in our caffeine fix occasionally glancing through
coffee shop steam towards the windows overlooking Bold St
Trading news like pioneers hitting the West for the first time
safe in the knowledge that friendships can remain rooted
despite year long silences and lost addresses emerging into
afternoon light with work calling and poetry needing to be
typed up the world being a better calmer place because of an hour
and a half sat amongst clattering coffee cups and shared memories
by Andrew Taylor.
