Afternoon

Let's play with the light
You and me
Jostle on cobbled roads
And spend an afternoon 

Take me out for coffee
One that comes in gargantuan cups
With leaves drawn in cream 
By one sleepy dozing barista, backstage

Then let's buy one of those
Bohemian things, scarves and such 
Lined with sequins and hanging down trinkets
Let summer not make us shy

Snap some pictures of the slant sun 
On dusty bougainvillea 
And a townful of homebodies
Awaiting an evening that never comes
