Drowned Out

That noise
The overwhelming noise
Mechanical impersonal

Drowning out
My inner voice
In a much soothing manner

I may be deaf when
I leave this roastery coffeehouse
But till then

I am thoroughly enjoying
The mental massage
By this robotic drone

Being in no rush to leave
Sipping my americano
