David Byrne Poet Free verse

Starbucks

I look for the Buck?
I'm looking for the Starry Eyes?
Instead I'm blinded by Free Wi-Fi.
Zombies in the gloom,
Faces lit with Cell phones, iPads, 
And Laptops!

My Name, they inscribed 
On my paper cup.
The ultimate Accolade.

I'm the Star in Starbucks!

Connie Marcum Wong June 7, 2014 at 4:52 AM David, this is perfect! The clever wit I remember. Your title caught my eye because I enjoy their coffee, from time to time, even though I have to get their decaf.How are you doing these days? Alpha, Connie
