The room reeked with the heavy scent of vanilla and cigarette smoke. The wine was breathing but the delicate smell was overpowered by the thickness of the bidis. It was a dive but it was just the place that poets came to be inspired. Verses scribbled on napkins, smeared by split drinks and hopeless dreams.

“ ‘M tellin’ you, nobody is going to bloody understand it. Who wants to read a poem about a sodden cat with push button eyes? All the man that he is cat, what’s this rubbish?”

“William, you know booze and women, but you don’t know poetry.”
