C is for Café
Take your time
Soak up the sensations
Watch the world go by
Start to understand
The complex mix of characters
Who make up this vibrant city.
Absorb the atmosphere
Feel the feeling
Watch and think
Get a sense of the rhythm of the city
Watch the other people watching
There’s no hurry
No sense of urgency
Take the time
To strike up conversation
As varied as the people
Each café has its own character
Each adding another piece
To the story Of Paris
Read if you wish to
Write or draw if you can
Talk, gaze and daydream
Watch Paris go by
A vital social focal point
Take the time
This is not time wasted
This is time necessary for true understanding
This is time well spent
In a Parisian café.
