Travel

She wears the flower print fine cotton scarf
Which almost matches the reddish pink, open-toe sandals
Is he her son, or is he her lover; the laughter suggests an intimacy
The demonstration to all around
Of a certain sort of quintessentially provocative relationship

The strawberry yoghurt is one strawberry strong 
& the Americano coffee is steamed through one shot
Of freshly ground and roasted bean

Men, who speak in high voices, surprise me
With their male conversation; that they are father and son
Is my more observant observation.

The young man (with glasses) shows off his sky blue tee shirt
Although I doubt from his complexion
That he has ever been to Buenos Aires, or anywhere else
That the Argentina La Albiceleste logo might suggest


This is a poem from Filmic: Love of Our World of Purples & Blues
