The man with the same length hair
on his head as the hair on his chin
is sitting in the café with an unopened pot
of Kenco coffee on the table in front of him.
A back up plan? A threat? Who knows?
His colleague is at the counter
ordering two skinny lattes from his balmed lips.
The man with the same length hair
on his head as the hair on his chin
is looking out of the window.
Bored? Excited? Who knows?
His feet are tapping along to Kelly Clarkson.
