Overheard at a Coffeeshop II

*from a poetry exercise during Monday night's writers' group.

----------

nights are so cold

can I have

a glass of water?

one cup of vanilla

one cup of hazelnut

would you like

whipped cream?

you’re welcome

 

I was trying

to beat the elevator

we should probably

press the button

right above it

now that you’re gone

 

can you read this?

but you can’t look

inside of it

it’s for girls

is it about snakes?

okay so, whatever!

 

I think

we should talk

because nobody

is talking

lets see if there

are any others

It feels like being

left behind

goodbye
