Life Within a Coffee Shop

In this place I see older women consoling younger men
Sitting with my hot chocolate I observe computer screens
Best selling books, quiet study, gentle loneliness

Avoiding social interaction is interrupted by a gentle smile from a stranger
A smile returned, grateful for the random unsaid kindness
Interviews take place next to a student writing on the works of Keats

Life within a coffee shop
A practice of the ideal reality
With bartistas serving each their requests
