@SW-User Thank You. I was rather hoping you would love this!! I was sitting in my living room last night and this started to come together in my head. I was trying to browse for music on the PS4. That wasn't happening as this was meant to be wrote and I would have no peace UNTIL it wad! Inspiration always comes best to me late at night!
The alternating tempo, rhyming structure and rhyming itself was a challenge. It's melodic and yet it is not. If "never cared" was a central theme then I wouldn't-- well care--about how askew it may be.
Nice to see your comments as always. Glad you liked my tale of friendship and coffee.

@Elandra77 I'm glad you had your late night musings! It's tempo & theme made it a wonderful read.....
@TeresaRudolph71 Thank You. My coffee shop is my Cheers--where everybody knows my name. And yet, I usually sit alone at a table left to my own thoughts. I have seen the same at eateries over the years. They are great places for friend or families to meet. And yet, the coffee shop I always saw as a place for strangers, different and yet alike, to come together as one. A shared love of good coffee can be a great ice breaker!
@Elandra77 You're welcome. It must be nice to have a place like that to go to. I don't think any of the regulars at our neighborhood coffee shop know my name, but I usually just pass by, and only stop if I see someone I recognize, or if I just need a place to think by myself. I'm sure that can be a great ice breaker. :) I tend to like sweet beverages myself, but hot chocolate in the winter can be great too!
@Magenta Thank You. I am glad you found this to be sweet. I told another this began writing itself in my head. I am to much of a artist and poet not to know when inspiration strikes and to take advantage of it.
@Lostpoet He is a songwriter and has a knack for putting words down in way that could be a folk song. His goal was to write 'One Latte" a day until he had enough for a CD or a small book..
I own that book. I got it decades ago when it came out for $3 in paperback. (1979?) It's a very good read and insight into work and the live of others.
@Elandra77 I bought it years ago to on the Kindle. I was a little disappointed because I didn't realize that it was going to be set that far back in time but it was definitely interesting to read.
@Fungirlmmm Thank You. We met as strangers in the coffee shop we go to in Winter and became friends over time. I met his wife and learned of his issues and him mine. We are quite the odd couple but that is part of the charm for us.
A beatnik and a hippie talking of times long gone. HA! Perfect coffee shop talk!
