Viva cafe culture! Sit and think a minute as you amp your brain...

hand holds down
the news
one table over
between me
and the door
lighthouse
busy this morning
my orange sharpie
marker smells
even over fresh
roasting coffee
i should put it
away
get to work
on my laptop
work on the book
or go back
to Bukowski
or get a refill
free w/ $1.26
cup of press .
there's paper
everywhere--
news, pictures
on the wall,
advertisements,
and the roll
next to the toilet
where the fart
i just let
is leading me . . .
