Le Yack - La Foule solitaire - Hand-signed

It is seven o’clock p.m., and the coffee costs ten cents. Red banquettes, checkered floor, still-warm pie under a cloche — and no one looks up. Seven customers, six screens. The waitress watches her own from behind the percolators, the couple on the right says nothing, the woman in yellow hasn’t touched her share.
Only one man still holds the old world, a newspaper laid open in full. His phone sits beside his cup.
The decor is from 1947 down to the last nail, the gestures are of today. The gap is deliberate, and it does it all: we smile for three seconds, then not at all.
Net bill, no trace of a brush. Chromes, Formica, and a checked floor painted as new, and the screens as the only cold light in the room.
