The O.C., The Oshawa Center, is the local mall.
not my usual scene the shopping mall lots of people, lots of noise an intrusive hubbub rather than overheard conversation 12 noon food court I’m drinking coffee and writing poetry surrounded by the denizens of the place grey hair and baseball caps, shoppers and lookers sellers and buyers, walkers and talkers; dudes and duds; takers and givers; and me: drinking coffee and writing poetry wondering who the hell am I writing poetry and drinking coffee am I here or just observing drinking coffee and writing poetry.
