Cups Writer : Benjamin ChowListen to the recording : over there single girl with Trump in hand; A Success Story. partnered with black bag glamorous, louder than herself, sipping juice- no spectacle. over there. gaunt man. thoughts and coffee black, leaning front, to stare intently at the empty seat across him. there, aging women, careless dress- friends, probably. both leaning back; the animated right, mouth and lips, arms, fingers. left just listening with latte. over there - boy in corner, six, seventeen? no doubt student; muted here i am too fucking busy to be busy fucking, like i should be. papers, pen and discontentment, shimmer, shudder, even with the slurpy. earphones keep him under. and there. lonely young woman preoccupied with the unoccupied seat, across her. small, sad bites and a lifeless phone she eyes, beside the tea. then the cleaner, old, presuming himself transparent; rag, tray and can i clear the cup please. all decline, distracted, absent. but he clears up after them anyway- juice, coffee, latte, slurpy, tea.
