Wednesday 1st February

TWO PEOPLE:

“I didn’t see you there at first” – he said, “It’s been so long,
I hardly recognised…”
“I come in here to be quiet & work” – she smiled,
“Are you working?”
“I got a Crisis-Loan” – he changed his tone through wounded lips
“I was evicted on the weekend. They gave me a months notice
when I was having such a good time.”
“Ten years ago I don’t know what I was doing. I was going to lot’s of parties,
now I’m sat in this cafe talking to you” – she laughed glancing away
for a second before returning to her book.
