Cafe de tristesse
down at the cafe
on the corner of the street
they stand around and mutter
their tales of sad defeat
stories of defection
leaving home for good
headed for the hopeless
of the wasted neighborhood
blown away by deep despair
their world is torn apart
their pockets are as empty
as lover's broken heart
the future is an unknown
a question still unasked
the past is all forgotten
like a lover's face all masked
1995
