photo: Nelson, tea time is a nice way to socialise, even when you are on your own : in the gentle background noise of the cafe, one can hear bits and pieces of other people’s lives.

Waiting for the perfect time of the night
to heal wounds that
cannot  speak the language
of  bankers.

Tea time !
I heard this :

Times are tough
but  there’s tea

Then a very  long silence

that sounded like that of truth
