Unfolded letters

15:48

Dreary to be dull outside
I catch the breeze from time to time:
Legs crossed, out the alcove.
The afternoon chatter declined,
Now all orders are “to go”.
But I’m still wasting time till 5.

A warming sense of
Christmas holiday afternoons
Has established.
As customers bring in the cold
On their jackets.
