Creole Breakfast at Brenda's

Atop the shrimp
tomato and bacon gravy
and grits
French toast and wheat
Sourdough toasted
Omelette Creole
with beef and spinach

Panic, not busy
Worker bees
diligent
There's that smile
I know a little Greek:
"Θα σε σκοτώσω"-
'I will kill you'
My neighbour’s kids
shout at each other
All love Greece
Long Live the 60's
Sex, Sand, Sun

Spicy Food
Tasty people
A system to sit down
only if you're altogether
So many people
so little space
so little time
Warm space and a bit
of vanity
Walls covered with mirrors...

We couldn't wait anymore
for you
We ate
And as we emerge
laughter and filled bellies
you appear jumping
clear blue skies
proud sun
Long lost trip
around the city
two hours earlier
you could have
enjoyed with us
Breakfast...
