Monday

I was in a bad place
Oh Monday, you're just not my favourite
Blue. Boos. Monday.
Biggest weekend come down in ages
Monday blues, boo.
Oh, I'm speaking in metaphors
Metaphorical come down,
Not pharmaceutical. Gosh.
Crashing.
CRASHING, boo.

Finally.
Finally, finish work.

Home time.
Karangahape Road time

K Road makes me smile
I find myself smiling when I go down K Road
I find myself waiting for the green man a lot
On K Road
It was where Upper Queen Street meets
K Road, on K Road.
Through the crowd.
Through the crowd on K Road
My first Auckland accidentalchinesehipster
Through the crowd. Mid to late 40s
A red helmet. Orange, brown roots
Under a red helmet.
Dyed to cover the greys, obv
Mismatched denims
Not that matching would be better.
Flared jeans.
Flares, and a BMX bike at her side.

A BMX bike.

She was wheeling it along but
The helmet was strapped under her chin.
I think it was her bike.
I think it was her BMX bike.

I love you lady, you made my day
I love you K Road
I love you accidentalchinesehipsters.tumblr.com
I love you Monday

Closing time

It was closing time

The man took the chair, turned it upside down, 

popped it on the table. Cushioned side down. 

He then moves to the chair next to it, 

repeats this step. Upside down. 

This one had a fluffy cushion which he placed 

on the other side of where it had been sat all day. 

Onto the table. Upside down. Distracted, 

he walks back into the cafe.

The man shuffles back but he has moved 

onto another table. There was still 4 seats waiting, 

waiting to be popped on from the previous table.

Forgotten

He was old. 

This man.

Again, he pops on 2 out of 6 of the new table,

 and then clears cups from another table. 

Walks back into the cafe.

My friend is off to be a sailor in forbidden waters. Nothing exotic, just the UK but yea he pissed someone off at some point so he might not be all that welcome. He can always study something else at uni, he concludes. Maybe sound engineering. What did you study? English language. Ah, that explains why you're... Ah, what's the word... I've got a really good word. He swirls his hands. Thinking. What's-ing.

The man has been waltzing around 

flipping random chairs here and there.

Apart from the kid's table 

which he has stacked on a normal, adult (?) table 

with the kids chairs on top. All four legs.

The man had created a piece of art in his closing, and tidying up efforts.

Quirky, old ocd man.
