Girl at a café

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. Cars are causing a traffic jam. People are everywhere. Music can be heard from a passing vehicle. Inside the vehicle a young man is looking at everyone in the street and ignoring the road. He is making sure everyone notices his new car.

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. Above the café an old lady stands at her balcony. She is now 73 years old. Or is it 74? She is not sure. What she knows is that she is not the same girl she used to be. Back in the old days standing on this same balcony she used to attract the attention of many men walking down the street, and some women too.

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. A cat walks on the other side of the street just across the road enjoying the sounds of human banality around him. It sees a little pigeon, and the sight disgusts him. It feels a need to destroy the pigeon. It approaches the bird. It prepares to jump. It jumps. The pigeon was faster. It escaped. Miaooow (“shit” in cattish).

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. On the table next to her a man is reading his newspaper. He is not paying any attention to the world around him. Something is capturing his whole attention on the bottom of the page. His horoscope predicts an unexpected surprise today. Interesting!

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. A pigeon is flying over her head having just escaped a silly cat who thought it could capture it. The cat didn’t know that this pigeon had an internal force which no cat could stop. The pigeon suddenly feels that familiar sensation. It is time to take a dump. The biological extraction called “shit” goes out of the little bird and falls over a brand new car.

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. Pigeon droppings fall in front of her over the front shield of a brand new car. The driver gets mad and curses. He turns off his music, stops his car and opens his door to clean the glass. While opening the door he hits a cat which was on the side of the street. The cat miaaooows (curses in cattish) and runs towards a café.

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. A man reading a newspaper is startled by a cat running between his legs. He laughs. It was something unexpected just like his horoscope said. He stands up walks towards the street feeling an unexplained happiness and looking towards the sky. His eyes catch those of an old woman standing in her balcony.

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. Somewhere above her, an old woman looks at a man walking in the street and looking towards her, and again remembers the old day when more men would look at her. She smiles inwardly. She used to enjoy those moments. She used to like to tease them with her eyes knowing that none of them could have her. None indeed! Her heart back then already belonged to someone and still does until this day. The old woman enters her home, goes into the kitchen and hugs her partner. After more than 40 years they are still in love. The coffee is ready. The two old women sit at the kitchen table enjoying some soft jazz music on the radio.

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. It is 17:45. She was supposed to meet someone at 17:00. It is not the first time this happens to her. Tears start falling down her face. Life stops around her. People become mesmerized by the sight. Children point at her. Whispers go back and forth between bystanders. For the first time in a week a young man forgets his new car and looks at her as if looking at a giant spider. Another man looks back at the café and wonders whether that was the surprising thing his horoscope told him about. Two old women standing in their balcony look down at her and curse her for spoiling a beautiful evening. A cat is transfixed by the sudden silence around it.

A girl is sitting at a café in a busy street. Above her a pigeon looks down and sighs. These beings down there are still not living. Cars are treated as treasures, horoscopes are the new prophets, and others who partially live have no interest in helping their fellow humans find life. They are too tired themselves to think about others. All this is enough to be sad, and yet for some weird reason, one of them is not allowed to express sadness.

A girl is crying at a café in a busy street. Somewhere in the sky a pigeon is preparing to shit on the human world one more time, and then go on flying, living and exploring the world.

Miaaoow (THE END in Cattish)
