Coffee Shop Symphonies

A hum, some whispers
Some dreamers, some thinkers
Animated loud conversation
Enveloping covert flirtation

The lone wolves, 
with macbook companionship
The young lovers, 
unease, anticipation of new relationships
The smokers, 
transfixed on their meloncholic circles 
The dreamers, 
gazing, imagining shapes of castles.  
The marketers, 
relentless, building great impressions 
The venture funders, 
reticent, poker faced in such sessions
The young college goers, 
crafting pseudo pop, counter culture wins 
The politicians, 
scheming, plotting tomorrow's demises and spins.  

A smooth blend, a quiet contemplation,
Coffee, smoke and conversations 
The cappuccinos, the lattes, 
the blueberry muffins, the parfaits
Punctuating the crevices 
of conflicting thoughts 
and alternate directions.

Through the cacophony of mind battles
Through caffeine and nicotine cackles
A path announces itself through the mist
At last, peace, quiet and some bliss. 

The coffee is drunk, the patty savoured
the bills paid, the baristas bid goodbye
An uber arrives to take you
to the other - home.
