Kalverstraat
walking briskly down the narrow street
lined with tall buildings
windows adorned with rows
of flowerboxes
brush past a stranger
wearing a chartreuse miniskirt
she enters the coffeeshop
probably orders a latte,
and a bagel(plain)
bumps into someone she once knew(a lover?)
whisks her hair back with one hand
playfully, forced smile
makes up some excuse
pretends she has somewhere
more important to go
something that needs immediate attention
strides out of the shop
like the white rabbit
on his way to a mad tea party
stops by the produce stand
on the corner,
picks out a few things
some tulips for herself
they are only in season once a year
she reminds herself
rounds the corner to her building
up the narrow staircase
3 flights, creaking stairs
shoves open the door
and flops noisily down
on the sofa
