in Acoustic ...

I paid for a flat white in Acoustic -

I'd walked past exquisite shops -

I'd seen an Eden in a florists - 

A sleek bravo in a Turkish Barbers -

I sat under mannered decorations -

A courtly waiter bought my flat white in a beautiful cup -

A Hugo spoke softly to his friend - 

Already my heart was racing -

I sipped the coffee -

It was getting dark -

Soft rain rain fell on Church Street -
