Another for C & C

In Big Steve’s Empty Wallet
We were all well dressed as well as well pissed and Sandra had shouted, *Hey
Steve,
stop smiling so loud,* then she ruffled my hair and I just grinned and
glanced elsewhere -
the rattle and hum of the sweeper’s machine, him whistling as he hoovered
things up -
and me in that suit - 250 quid - the silk shirt, patent leather shoes. And
the way we crowded closer
then how we all turned sideways, moved apart and continued to talk. But
here,
here in my wallet, we’re still here: focused, forever wide-mouthed, waiting
for the flash.
