She talked often about
Her times at the famous cafe
Invited me on the last day
Of the year.
I was looking forward to
A cup of Chun Mee green tea
Served here in a place of
Culture
As a cherry on top in a place
Continuing tradition.
Then I noticed the sharp
Business practice
Not the green tea I had sampled
At the Anker Café before.
One day I’ll find it
I said to B
But thanked her for inviting me.
However
Suddenly she got up and rushed
Towards a man who just sat down
I followed her and she introduced
Me to Pierre:
Fashion designer.
Photographer.
Artist.
From the first handshake we got on
Like a house on fire.
Monsieur
It’s great that we had met on
New Year’s Eve
Sending off some of our memories
With great bursts of fire.
Only one of the waiter’s played up
And I disliked his attitude
Behaving badly.
But never mind
I said to B finally
It does not count
We had a hell of an inspired
Conversation all afternoon
Monsieur.
Old Year – New Year.
It’s great to have met one of
The genuine people:
Artist.
Designer.
Photographer.
Poet.
Writer.
Publishing artist.
A human extension to my own
Artistic endeavours
Or so I felt.
This talk to be continued
He said.
I agree Monsieur I said
Full heartedly.
