From Popie’s to Levant
The texts we used to send each other, every
morning, the moments we just woke up:
[Q] Wes tangi? (You awake?)
[A] Uwes (Yes)
[Q] Sarapan yuk? (Breakfast?)
[A] – Ok, tak salin sek (Let me change)
- Ok, aku mudun (I’m coming down)
Then we would walk into this small nice
breakfast café, in our neighborhood, at Cikini
V, under the commuter line railway. A waffle, or
a pancake, and an omelet for two. A cup of
white coffee for me and a cup of tea for her.
Some cigarettes.
These conversations still happen, despite the
lesser intensity, the different breakfast places,
the different menus. We have arrived at: Two
black coffees, one sdoodalad Chevre Chaud,
Shasouka, some bread. And, no more
cigarettes!
From Central to South! Brekky-time with Cecil
is always special.
