Corner Table
Watching the rest of the world at a coffeeshop.

CORNER TABLE


The girl at the corner table
Taps her pen, tick tick tick, between
Words and ideas and phrases spilling into
Her journal all over the page.

The cofeeshop is crowded and loud with the sound
Of mocha frappichino and fresh ground beans,
But the only noise I can hear is that
Tick tick tick, taking over from my heartbeat
So that I die when the pen retreats
From its abuses back to the page.
