People In Sunlight br br A man and a woman are sitting br on an overstuffed sofa br in a room overflowing with sunlight, br she in a black bikini, br br he in a soldier's uniform. br He takes off his cap and says her husband br was a good soldier. br She crosses her legs and says that may be br br true as the sky is blue. br He unpins a miniature flag from his sleeve br and presents her with it. br Sunlight catches the stripes, tossing br br them all over the rug like spilled coffee. br Sunlight catches the coffee br table off-guard, tossing br it back in their faces. br br She touches her lips to the flag br and says she's hungry. br He fiddles with his buttons br and says nothing. br br She unbuttons her bikini and stands br in a block of sunlight, grinning. br He grins, too; it is a beautiful day, br the War is almost over.
