Poem
"I agree," Bayard murmured while looking at the few people walking I across the street. Summer was over and the boy was beginning to get frustrated at the sight of girls wrapped in blankets of clothes. "Bayard do you even know what I just said?" Lyel interrupted his brother's observations. "Could you at least pretend to care once in a while?" "I heard what you said man, relax." He took the cup off of the table without bothering to turn his head. He sipped his coffee in the most nonchalant manner. "I hope that caramel frapuchino is to your liking. It cost some people money you know." "It's decent." Lyel turned his attention back to the small pile of papers sitting on the table, "Mhm how to end this chapter. Maybe I should end it with the girl confessing." "Stop with your story for a while or two and take a look at the outside world. By the way don't forget to give that girl a body that makes the guys stare." "No. See you weren't paying attention when I was telling you about my story. Women don't need bodies for a man to love them. Why do I even share my ideas with you?" Lyel placed the papers back inside a blue folder. "Because you have no one else. Finish your coffee after all you paid for it. The coffee here is good after all." "You almost did not want to come in here in the first place." "That's because this place looks like crap from the outside." "Anyways how was trick or treating with your friends yesterday?" "Finally a topic that doesn't involve your lame romances. It was one of the best ones so far. We went to this neighborhood on the west side of the city. Bro you should have been there. Haha a whole neighborhood full of girls with sexy Halloween costumes. I couldn't decide wether the chick with the devil costume was better than the one with the cat costume. Man awesome night." Bayard placed his hands behind his head and laid back on the chair. "What about the haunted houses? The candy?" "There was this one house where there was a graveyard and zombies. This girl was too scared to go in it. So I told her I'll hold her. We all got good candy in that house." "I hope you saved some candy for me too." "I did. Some candy corn. I'm pretty sure you like it." The waiter went to the brothers' table inquiring if they needed anything else. Lyel politely declined and thanked the waiter for his kindness. Breakfast was almost over and the scent of coffee was beginning to fade. There was only a few people in the shop. An old man lost in the swirling of his coffee and a young man sitting in the corner reading. "So as I was saying. When I got home I ate some twix and kit kats, but then I found this box of chococate chips. Strange because this was the first time I received this box before." "It must be only in that neighborhood." "I opened it and at the top was a raisin. One raisin in a box of chocolate chips." The sound of the bell on the front door rung more frequently as the hands on the clock tired in their endless cycle. Lyel's coffee no longer had steam. It was getting cold. "What did you do with the raisin?" "I threw it away and ate the chocolates. What else would I do with it? I was there for the chocolates." "Eat the raisin. Why would you throw away a perfectly good raisin away?" "No one choses the raisin over the chocolates man. Why would you? What if the raisin was poisoned? "The raisin is ten times less likely to be poisoned than the chocolates since there are more brutes than intelligent people." "Hey stop being a smart ass. Let's put this in real world terms alright. Let's say the chocolate chips are the hot girls in the devil and cat Halloween costumes. The raisin is some ugly chick in a chipmunk costume or something. Who would you chose?" "The girl in the chipmunk costume. Looks have nothing to do with my decision." "Bro are you serious? Even if you were insane that is a no-brainer." "And that is exactly what is wrong with society. No brains. I'll pick the raisin over the chocolates any day and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Even if I was I'm not afraid to walk alone in my opinion." "So what you are saying is that instead of a box of chocolates we should give a box of raisins on Valentine's day?" "Maybe we should since people have forgotten what really matters." The shop had more people now and people were beginning to stare at the two brothers arguing. Bayard noticed this and took the last sip of his coffee. He brushed his dark hair back and stood up. "Whatever I finished my coffee. Let's go."
