coffee on the rue.......to go

[mevsmevsme]

i was in paris today
sipping hot tea
in front of a cafe
where a beautiful woman
sat in sadness
and a man pinched bread
from two long loaves in a
market bag.

i had never been to paris
but this was a postcard
that i rather enjoyed being in.

i liked paris, i am sure i will go back
one day.
