Coffee House Possibilities

We think about it a lot! While driving we're thinking about it. At work we think about it. At work we think about it. While we're in the gym we think about it. We also incorporate our fantasies into our daily lives and imagine meeting that person who gets our heart racing and our palms sweaty at the places we go. Come on admit it, we all have our fantasies. When your single your always imagining meeting that right person.

So that person walking in is hoping for the same thing you are. After all you're not the only one thinking about it, we all are. Why not, it could happen and it certainly does! We hope for that coffee house possibility of meeting that right person. Certainly while we are sitting at our local coffee shop we look up as someone is coming in and wonder and hope.

In fact, take a hot sip while driving and you might have a different possibility, an accident. After all, there are no possibilities while sipping your mocha café latté driving. Try not just picking up your coffee to go, sit and enjoy a refill. Regularity creates familiarity creating a sense of comfort, which allows two people to ease into conversation. Most people follow routines and by following one yourself you could see the same person regularly. To give your possibilities more of a chance try going to the same coffee shop and go at the same time.

If it goes nowhere don't worry, the great thing about your coffee house, there is always another person coming in creating endless coffee house possibilities. You never know unless you try. Take a chance and even say hello. When you see that certain someone that cause your heart to have a little arrhythmia, don't just freeze, at least smile.

So sit enjoy, what's your rush after all the coffee is good and that next person walking in could be the one you want to meet who wants to meet you, anything is possible at the coffee house!

Last Poems from the Coffee Cafe [three poems]

1

Live on T.V. [The Rating War]

"Ratings went up last week," the fat, rich T.V. station manager said.

"Due to what coverage…?" asked my wife.

"It was a battle in Iraq (or was it Afghanistan?)

"I'm not sure but the enemy just killed one-hundred U.S. Marines: Blacks Jews Spanish Poor Whites!

"The analysis will now repeat the scenes (verbally) on the radio— cash in, while they can!...

Pale-Faced

It took a while, but the while was willing to wait; pale-faced one that never saw lightness—, lightness being something you give-off, radiate, and receive; but it never comes from a pale face,

either way. This maybe hard to believe, but for some it takes a lifetime to conceive.

Bitter Patience [At the Bookstore Café]

When the budget came to mind and her friend discussed it out loud with her—she delivered the verdict (after two-hours of hot clashes) a cool decision prevailed…

there are points to this high silence prier to her verdict (her friend tripping over her tongue, a cracking of her voice,

somewhat; the clock ticking) her friend now says (clears her throat, holds herself ready) says: "Guilty!

that is life."

"Not much leftover…;" says the bewildered. She forgets a bill of $34.00. (Woops, less now.)

Speaking in a soft voice, mingled with raw reality, she is spending more than she is acquiring (easy to do I say in my mind); she sees the circumstance, says,: "I got enough for some white rice…." They both get up from their chairs, leave the table, books here and there, "Bye," they say with a smile (each); leave with bitter patience.
