What's going on?

She gave him
the finger
and the evil eye
when
he nodded to her.

Not very friendly, but then, these are unfriendly times. Sad.

This one begs the questions, "who are they" and "why are they there."

each came in for coffee at the little cafe.
they seem to know each other well enough.
the observer doesn't know them,
but he is surprised by the response
to what seemed a friendly nod.
the key to the poem's interest to me
is the observer...his ignorance and the resultant surprise.

I think it's great that such a short poem can raise all these questions.
Good job with this one.
