The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Interstellar Library Coffee Shop

they're in the work places
and stores downtown...
silent and quiet
blank faces
private
in groups...
they express
themselves all
freely the same
and...me not feeling
time stealing
from them
thought...
"aliens"...
the years have cleared
the unfamiliar scene
and now...i'm what had been all along...
alien...in an alien world...
now with access only to the relevant
universal intellect continuum
and this...'this invention' enables
craftsmen of the word
to furnish the world
with script and book
to read or cook...
wonderful
pass-time-planet
earth

I liked the pace of this one sand blown. I've been in those same places, feeling like I'm in an alien world.

This poem made me smile on the inside wide, SB. Such insightful muse observations. Stellar phrases: 'this invention' enables craftsmen of the word to furnish the world with script and book to read or cook... wonderful pass-time-planet earth. Pen and paper is my old-school fave invention of choice. Your wit shines exceedingly. Aurora bright poetry. Love and more love always.

I cannot help but think you are referring to the computers, and the internet. However, it is a cleverness that could also pertain to other venues. A thought-provoking piece, Sand. Well penned.
