I've never heard "le déjeuner du matin", but that does not mean the expression is not used...
  • sans me parler = without speaking/talking/saying a word to me
  • sans parler = without speaking/talking/saying a word
  • J'étais en avance, alors/donc je suis revenu(e) plus tard

I've just sent it to a friend who is on the point of leaving her husband because he doesn't speak or look at her any longer. Very sad. Sad [:(]

Ah, I know that poem, we used it in our French lessons as an example of the passé composé.  I wouldn't say I was clever, but I'd translate it as...

 

He put the coffee

In the cup

He put the milk

In the cup of coffee

He put the sugar

In the white coffee

With the little spoon

He stirred

He drank the white coffee

And he put down the cup

Without speaking to me

He lit a cigarette

He blew rings

With the smoke

He put the ashes

In the ashtray

Without speaking to me

Without looking at me

He got up

He put his hat on his head

He put on his raincoat

Because it was raining

And he left

In  the rain

Without a word

Without looking at me

And me, I put

My head in my hands

And I cried.
