"Sunny day we're having"
the man quipped
his head fixed firmly on the Formica bar
his words given time to die
and he is rewarded
with nods and broken English
we all knew -
it was sunny
swimming in the silence
not funeral silence,
but post love making silence
a comfortable,
relaxing silence
because it was still sunny
before the words were spoken

and he is rewarded

not funeral silence,
but post love making silence
a comfortable,
relaxing silence
because it was still sunny
before the words were spoken
