People Who Eat in Coffee Shops
People who eat in coffee shops
are not worried about nutrition.
They order the toasted cheese sandwiches blithely,
followed by chocolate egg creams and plaster of paris
wedges of lemon meringue pie.
They don't have parental, dental, or medical figures hovering
full of warnings, or whip out dental floss immediately.
They can live in furnished rooms and whenever they want
go out and eat glazed donuts along with innumerable coffees,
dousing their cigarettes in sloppy saucers.

i just ordered a scone and a second cup of coffee because of this poem.
if there was something in here about a crossword puzzle it would be my life in boulder..
Shouldn't this poem also mention something about free WIFI? PS. My fav... Pain au Chocolat RULE! :-)
lol free wifi and crossword puzzles. we need to rewrite this poem. it should also include wearing yoga pants.
and lemon meringue pie? i don't think i've ever had that in a coffee shop. that belongs in a poem about village inn or perkins.
