SIMPLE DETAILS 

CARRY DEPTH

The item is an orange on a table. The setting

is just outdoors, past the first range of the

eatery's doorway, where people pass and an

awning covers. To the right, strollers walk by

paying no heed. Eating on the street, as it were,

but not  -  that's the ambiance presented. When

you used to be able to smoke, people would sit

here for long periods, coffee after wine after

Campari, and smoke and talk large matters.

Now, nothing. People stare at screens maybe,

while I, in turn, just fidget. How'd I end up here?

-

My time is at a turning of the minor wheel; 

connected to nothing, no smaller cog turns off

of me, no reciprocal twist do I cause. Let's just

say I am not a cam. I lift nothing else in my

rotational journey. The item on the table is 

an orange, still  -  and a still orange at that.
