the conversation at the stalls


The conversation at the stalls
Around the coffee shops with hot air blowing
Tables and chairs put on the five foot way
Customers sit with drinks and food

In the late morning shadows
Some stalls begin to close shop
Clearing it up the business is good
Leaving the other stalls waiting

Some customers sit and smoke
Talking about everyday needs and things
About politics dividing the nation
About religious fools running loose

The hawkers under the hot heat
Earning money to keep them busy
The costs keep rising the outlook can't predict
Yet they will be around in the early morning

The conversation at the stalls
Friends will sit and talk in the morning
Passing time listening to stories

It will them busy the stories retelling
