remember when you sat in the square in Copenhagen
and you felt sort of traditional
even though you were staring at a burger king?
you had the inclination to take photos of everything but then
didn’t.
you ate a chocolate muffin and looked at a building that had gold on it
you took your gloves off and cupped your hot drink
your shoes were a bit too heavy
and red strands from your scarf were clinging to everything
but you felt calm
or at least you felt like you were doing well at imagining calmness.
(pretending to be calm perhaps.)
that chai latte was creamy and you saw a child put their arm around another child and felt something then nothing.
it was nice.
