What can I give you?<\/span>


\u201cReal coffee? Tea? Peppermint, camomile, earl grey? Food perhaps. Hot soup? Ham sandwiches?” <\/span>

Yes, Yes, please. <\/span>
Everything. <\/span>
And ten marlboro light. <\/span>
Slip them into my bag and I promise not to catch your eye. <\/span>
Touch my arm with your warm, living fingers. <\/span>
Tell me that the end is a beginning. <\/span>
That the world is not this corridor of fifteen doors, that my lover my friend is not behind the last door on the left. <\/span>

Bring me a deckchair on a beach an evening of jazz the last rays of sun on a pub bench clean clothes ironed sheets tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow. <\/span>

Take away today. <\/span>

And thank you for asking.<\/span>
