1st Place - Sorry
for the inconvenience - Paul Eccles
Sorry for the
inconvenience
Un-white cups
The last of
instant coffee,
Un-blackened
with powdered milk
A falsehood.
I begin to say
‘It’s been
difficult,
you know,
since-’
-We
split
the bill.
After all,
we probably
wont meet
Again, I start:
‘I’m sorry, if
you
could just -’
‘-See,
it’s getting near one’ she says.
I sip the
dregs.
Instantly
unmemorable
But for a
bitter taste
That lingers
along the linear
Of my tongue.
She continues,
‘I really need
-’
‘- you back in my -’
‘- boss
will notice soon’ she says,
looking at her
watch.
She rises,
turns clutching her-
- hand I plead:
‘Please, for-’
‘- the best, it’s for -’
‘- Give me
another chance,
I made a mis -’
She - takes her hand
from mine. ‘I have to go’
‘It’s been nice
seeing you.’
A falsehood.
My apologies
The broken
toilet
An
inconvenience.
Instantly
unmemorable
But for a
bitter taste.
