And sometimes we sit
thinking as others shuffle in
order coffee
chat about the election
and shuffle out

and sometimes we sit
just to get out and feel
somewhat un-alone
or alone in a better way
with others milling around

almost as if invisible with
tall coffee and book
listening to sounds
strange human cries
stumbling beats, slurping organs
and orders of frappuccinos

one more today and then
again, tomorrow
doors unlock and shuffling begins
anew
