Surreal Café

Dream vision of geometric café,
I do not trust you. That harsh, clear light,
pinpointing your precise walls and corners,
glowing colours reflecting your face,
the regimented tables and chairs
arranged as linear defence at your feet,
doors and windows closed against
the possibility of custom. No, I don’t believe you.
