Red plastic chair
 i saw this girl outside with a cigarette
sitting in a plastic red chair
the wind like it always is in this city
blowing straight off the harbour
through industrial streets and apartment windows
she was taking coffee
good coffee
flat white two sugars
i saw this girl outside the window of a café
small intimate but not chic
me staring like a fish
out into her perceptive dreams
taking coffee
good coffee
black sweet and strong
i saw the girl outside the window
through a picture of me in the glass
feeling the wind
coffee filtered thoughts of the girl
into my head
i saw this girl outside with a cigarette
red plastic hair
taking good coffee
flat white two sugars
and a red plastic chair
