I dusted my tinned tomatoes with fiery pepper -
Each mouthful was a scalding delight -
I overheard the conversations of grizzled taxi drivers -
Five grand -
The road was up -
Did you see the paper ?
Richard had unwound his scarf -
The young woman with blue hair wore a tinsel necklace -
I thought about writing my name on the steamed up window -
Christmas decorations hung in gaudy webs from the ceiling -
I remembered the juke box in the Hopperesque lounge -
The midnight whisky in another bar -
The darkness in the streets -
The flickerings of televisions in shadowy rooms -
December 2019
