Alone Together

Rushing to my coffeeshop rendezvous
For much needed alone time
Claiming my table for one

We all came craving to be quiet
By ourselves together
In silence earbuds firmly in place

Switched off to the world
Tuned out in our bubbles
Sipping delightfully on our solitude

You have really captured the reality of so many coffee shops today, and in such a poetic way, Line: 'Sipping delightfully on our solitude.' Terrific! Best wishes, Gershon
