Lunch Time

John D Robinson

Surrounding the library
and council offices are
small stretches of
flower-beds and benches
and concrete slabs;
I settled in with a
freshly made sandwich,
opposite sat a wino
sucking on a wet
cigarette and the near
empty cheap bottle of
wine slipped from his
grasp and smashed
upon the concrete and
bled life into the
dust and dirt and I
saw the loss, the sadness
deep in his eyes as he
looked down
and as I bit into my
sandwich
he rose unsteadily to
his feet and cursed
beneath his thick matted
beard
he farted loudly before
lurching into a
angry chorus of car
horns and shouts from
pissed-off drivers,
who know or care
nothing of
his recent loss.
