Bookstore Blues

Odd
Starting to enjoy your life
You realize you'd been sitting
Traffic stopped looking out
a rainy window because
your connection is lagging

Waiting for service
frustration built up
and then creeps out
Traffic is flowing
And you keep going

Paying mind what's going by
You cannot deny
connection with a look
the poor man gazes from his bike
you standing barely hidden from the rain

Smoking a dirty cigarette
laughter and nick names
happy to be welcomed
Wondering if a place becomes more
Knowing you're about to leave
