sorting old photographs: Lisbon

while I waited for a
connecting flight
in the Lisbon airport
I found myself seated opposite
an elderly man in a red hat
bearing, in bold script
Hot Stuff

he looked a bit timid
air puffs
foot shuffles

the man’s eyes
widened
his lady returned
from the loo
she smiled coyishly
at seated onlookers
eyebrow raised
yes, it’s true
