Red Wizard Café
Red is showing a customer how to use
Ebay. They sit next to the guppy tank
poking index fingers at Red’s iPad.
Two tourists step across the threshold.
They see a campanologists’ boot camp flyer
and back out.
Nothing stops the man with a white carrier bag.
He strides over to Red with the future
in his hand. Pulling out a length of tube slathered
with gaffer-tape he fixes the end with goggles
over a volunteer’s eyes and shoves
the camera end into a croaking tetra tank
then announces It’s only a prototype.
Wow!
