cafe

At 
The end 
Of some street
Whose name is lost,
We watch the rain fall 
And exhale our worries. 
The coffee is always fresh, 
The cigarette smoke lingering
As the weight of the day falls away;
"What town are you from? What brings you  'round here?" 
And such questions are asked leisurely,
Since we'll forget when we depart. 
This transient place and all
The lost souls who come through, 
They'll flee from our thoughts 
When we feel we
Can stand on
Our own
Feet.
