Coffee in a cafe

Elbows on walnut wood
Sliding off the polish.
Eyes following the fingernail grain
To the sugar bowl
Where I leave my brain
To go banana's in demerara.

A clear black sphere
Ringed in gentle white china
Looks at itself
In my distortion.

And the ashtray
Smokes a tube of gunpowder
To the end.

(January 1980)
