the beautiful girl at the counter
smiles back shining
cold bold eyes of blue
as she presents cold water on rocks
no coffee in this cafe
i can not help but tip her
for
how i do love coffee shop girls
perhaps particularly this one
ironic because i do not drink
***** brown bean water
but im drawn to the maker
and the only interaction
i have with her
is momentary
making living
in the moment more important
but the line must move
if all the rest of them
enjoyed the moment with
her
as i did
she would truly be happy
would i were her
would i were able to
share that joy
for a moment
this ****** dark marble counter
proves the purpose given it
separating us
her eyes tell me
"drink fast
return for another
moment"
