lyrics

There’s not a lot to smile about given the past few years.
A silent, disgruntled man in fatigues in one corner
(his corner);
Our waitress a young, pretty and sad woman
With very rote motions.

After they’ve become subjects, and after so many lives
Have been stamped, catalogued and coddled, I can later
Understand the man who runs a finger across his throat,
Directing the gesture at a truckload of kids
From the other side of the bridge.

We sipped our coffee, talking mutedly, distracted
By the value of our curiosity in the morning.
It held the room in place.
The cook stepped out into the galley behind the counter, smoking,
Struck by the tiny acoustics of his plates.
And by something precious too, deeply rooted, a charm or a name
Hidden beneath the footbridge across the road that
Bears out a truth,
Slowing.

The blunt loss on the faces looking us over, over sips of tea, trying to
Gauge the pathos of strangers they can’t help to refuse.
