Greek Breakfast

A cold frappe and cigarette in hand

Warm Mediterran winds filled the atmosphere

Peering out of the cafe-into the streets of Athens

Coffee hits the empty morning stomach

While opening a fresh pack of Marlboro

Slowly bringing the crisp cigarette to my lips

Striking the lighter

Ambers spark

Hitting the first pull of breakfast

Shaking off the morning slumber
