Cafe Thought

It was a small intimate cafe where he sat, pondering the 
questions of life. For some they would never experience 
things that he had discovered in his.

As another sip of coffee trickled down his throat. A 
women nodded as she walked by, he nodded 
back in his cordial way.

His head turned, he looked out the window framed in 
dark  green drapes, and people returned his glance as 
they sauntered by.

Another day in the lives of so many he thought, as 
another minute ticked by. He watched like a 
movie the lives out the window who had no 
idea, hadn’t a clue.

As another sip of coffee trickled down his throat, a bell 
rang out disturbing the conversational flow within
the cafe, the door had opened and another patron 
entered and nodded as they walked by.

His coffee gone, he placed his chin on his fist, elbow on 
the table, like the thinker, he looked out that window 
with its dark green drapes, cozy and warm.

Today was yesterday and tomorrow today as he realized 
he had no clue as to why, when, 
where or who. 

The answers no closer, he would come back tomorrow, 
to ponder the questions of life once more. To nod to the 
patrons as they came through the door.
