on the way to next world

Normal day
abnormal moments
expecting tranquility
desiring a norm
on the fly
away, sheltered
from one winter wind

"normal day" the man says at the bar
straight and easy for him
frequent visitor
man in an hour glass
sifted sands washing his brow
bending and biting ice
in a Starbucks cup
wanting conversation
transmitting anxiety

"Have a great day"
his visitor retorted
amid the torrent of questions asked
to make idle conversation
tense due to an invasive moment
normal for the other man
interruptions otherwise


at a cafe of many solitudes
souls bound now to their laptops
texts being harvested
the odd person yearning for a chat
disregarded in show case windows
transmitting anxiety
perhaps wondering
why he never made the transition
to technology...a toast to the wired ways
of "friendship"
or was he ever able to?
if stuck in that normal moment..
looking for conversation
biting ice
asking twenty questions...
