Because it's just too weird...

Across the cafe
sits an old man

A young one
walks up
shakes hands
sits down

Never before met

The old
tells the story
smooth
razor sharp
beautiful curves
he shows examples

The young
points
touches
reaches into his back pocket
lays his wallet on the table

The old
quickly leaves
with his black case folded under his arm

The young
sits
waits

Bossanova plays

The young
texts
taps his foot
waits

Waits

The old
returns
brings a small, white box
scratches his head

They
touch
fingers glide
legs spread
and
SNAP shut

The old
tells the young
where to hold
where to polish

The young
puts the money on the table

The old
hands over his precious metal

Scissors
