To find out where I would fit on a Friday night
free from the shackles of a mundane job
and a manager who relishes authoritative rule
freeto discover some of the flavors
literally and figuratively
always present, concealed by bigger concerns...
I discovered a Belgian import eatery..
sat on a stool to enjoy a mild roast expresso
sampled a lemon filled dark chocolate
sampled a chat with the French shop assistant
who explained the freshness of his commodity
shipped weekly directly from Belgium...
could not ignore how large chain coffee shops
a haven today for university undergrads,
eager to haunt nightly study grounds
drink water passed through coffee grounds...
mark convenient table space to spread their wares
rob the intimacy away from social intercourse
they converse with their colleagues of course!

I mean I am supposed to agree to mega buck cafes
on alternate major intersections..it's the norm
so are frat parties attendances at a local dorm
but there you have a choice to frequent or attend
here you have faceless coffee with which to contend.

I'm sure that wasn't the reaction that you were striving for...haha, but I'm abnormally craving coffee now!
