“Café Sandwich Bar”
written backwards across
the window
mushrooms tomatoes
scrambled egg
warm golden spread
on soft white bread
brown and red sauce in
brown and red bottles
Formica tables
and blue plastic chairs
“yeah, escalators are scary”
a man softly answers
his young son’s story
a fork oversized
in the boy’s small hand
extra beans – a pound
extra bubble – one fifty
and I want this moment,
to takeaway.
