Pavement Café (A Poem)

Am I sitting next to you?
Are you sitting next to me?
Oh, this is not the place to be?
Is it Covid that’s not letting us free?
Empty chairs
Empty table
What a waste
Your floor is even made of marble
Chi oi, I need a coffee
But please forget the tea
Never mind its accompaniment
That’s just not the right complement
Cai nay ca phe bao nhieu tien?
I remember I paid hai muoi ngin
I’d like to come again
To see the barista named Hien
