paranoia at the jazz cafe


the jazz cafe
a self-consciously sophisticated environment
the thin curling tubes of sound from the guitar
struck into my face

you leaned towards me
and said
i've never liked jazz, ever

i stood up to leave
you took my arm
the mirrors on your shalwar kameez
flashed morse code over my shoulder
( to the drummer?)

you said
stay, we've paid

you paid for our marriage licence
