untitled 46

at loutolim, in pascal's village sky-bar
on evenings,
sit on wooden benches
with rum, paul and pascal;
an infrequent customer,
neatly combed,
freshly shaved,
devoid of discontent,
in hawaiian slippers,
bermudas,
T-shirt,
cashless,
shares rummy space.
women fizz from soda bottles,
chuckles stir rums;
last rounds are refills.
souls at placid pace.
