Breakfast - Jaques Prevert

He put the coffee
In his cup
He put the milk
In the cup of coffee
He put the sugar
In the cup of coffee
He stirred it
With the little spoon
He drank the coffee
And he put the cup down
Without speaking to me
He lit
A cigarette
He blew rings
With the smoke
He put the ash
In the ash-tray
Without speaking to me
Without looking at me
He got up
He put
His hat on
He put his raincoat on
Because it was raining
And he went out
Into the rain
Without a word
Without looking at me
And I put
My head in my hands
And I cried
