Coffee Shop Conversations

 

Coffee shop conversations

Are always interesting,

He said his problem or

Advantage, depending on

Which way you looked at it,

Was that he took watching all

Those Route 66 reruns to heart

And his life became a collection

Of new towns, new cities, new

Jobs, new adventures, new women,

Fuck I even bought a two seater

Ragtop he smiled,

 Looking off

Into his yesterdays,

 Silent for a few moments,

His eyes closed,

Yes, I fell in love hard

A couple of times,

Thought about settling down,

But each time I did

That damn song rang in my ears

And I was in my car

Heading down the road.

What are you driving now?

An 84 Winnebago,

I’m leaving soon as the

Head gasket is fixed.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper

To buy another vehicle?

Memories my man,

This one has memories.
