...teas and roasted coffees...
Brûlerie Barbès

Mothers and grandmothers
sit on the sidewalk next to the market
or the railings of Leon park,
selling products that they have prepared themselves:
"How much?" "One euro." "That's very little."
"But we don't pay taxes!"
They laugh.
Like billionaires.
But the latter want their pictures taken,
these women don't.
