Folding To Unfold
Try folding a paper cup — of course after having the tea or coffee
he was handed a-
hot cup of tea
in a paper cup
by the shopkeeper
he sat there watching others
and sipping his cup of tea
one of his old colleague was seen
asking for a cigarette
and walking away as shopkeeper gave a NO
without noticing him drinking tea
“that was okay
maybe next time,” — he thought
the cup was empty soon
but not his inner-disturbance
he simply sat there-
folding the paper-cup
as it wanted to as he connected with-
the disturbance within him
gently gently letting the folding
of the paper cup
unfolding his own difficulty
emptying it too as much as possible
and dumped it in the waste bucket
handed over the coins
received the smile from shopkeeper
and walked away
once again just looking here and there
in a futile attempt to see that colleague again
who had already possibly left the place.
