This café is fine         Right!
Has great coffee        Agree
Blue sky above          fine

Not blind darling
I can see beautiful chairs round such a table
I don't deny the seaside music
and after this coffee these fulsome lips delectably waiting
and I know well how to swim in the air of this unknowing
I know how to see through this I know not what

I know!
Sitting so comfortably in your eyes
whichever side I reach
I can take a bit of you even more delectable
I'm not stupid
I understand
you're right
OK!
But if all this
and everything
was under the blackened sky of Tehran
we'd have been so much in place
