*I have been going to cafes all my life...here's why.
Yet Another Cafe...
Yet another cafe--
sitting at another
corner table
like a monk
cloistered
amidst
a crowd.
And here
I am
able
to bathe
in my thoughts,
floating on
the tantalizing
ends
of other
conversations,
cradling a
pen in my
hand
like the
son
I
will never have.
I try to
crack the hard
nut of mystery
of that
striking woman
across the way--
I rehearse all
the thing I meant to
but will never
say--
And here
I can dream
again
of another
day.
