There is a black woman in a book cafe and she is reading the faces of those who sit here, pensively, with their flat whites and their espressos. As soon as I notice her, I try to hide my face by looking straight at her. Swiftly, the black woman turns away, having either read me already or else deeming the book unworthy of her attention.
