[untitled]

He sits at Starbucks

because that's where he

is told he should be

to become somebody.

 

They say:

“All great thoughts hit

when they are expected;

while you sit with

pen and paper.”

 

So, he sits and

waits all day til,

overcome by languor,

he heads home.

 

The wind and rain are blinding

but the light is getting brighter.

He stops to write it down -

then it hits him.

 

The driver in the car

can't see either.
