at the Sandton City Mugg & Bean
a young couple
order an early breakfast
he's chosen a corner
but not an alcove
he looks mediterranean
she's an indian girl
he's a football fan
she's in jeans and a knitted
jersey with hair loose
over her shoulders
at a table for two
he sits next to her
they exchange glances,
smiles, quiet words
when the bill comes
he leaves to find an atm
when he comes back
she smiles again
as they leave
she clutches her bag
with him walking two steps
behind her
you can tell
it's not quite love.
--
a little slice of life i was privileged enough to witness.
