Getting By

Sitting in Starbucks Sipping chocolate mocha Invisible now Furtive glances up Who else is hiding today? Moments of repose Needing to be here Waiting for no one to come But looking busy Quiet voyeuring Pushing out conversation Trying to listen The next table leaves Where will they travel to next? Guessing is insane Around the corner Maybe, another coffee? How ridiculous! I am drowning now Caffeine is my drug of choice Pathetic, I know I should go swimming Exercising my body My cup is empty "Move on now", I say The people are coming in My spot is needed.

The last Haiku is very touching in many ways. I say or think this many times when we eat out. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
