beige shoe acrobats giggle in the corner - there's one in every crowd. Empire cigarettes. Our coffee arrives, but the girl says "I'll send someone over to take your order". Er. Ok. Double the size and halve the service. Back and forth in the street all afternoon. CDs, pictures, a shirt, a book. A makeshift greeting card for 50 cents while a black cat looks on, sunning itself on the front step and smiling at me.
