ALMOST SUNDAY EVENING

standing room only
at starbucks
on a Sunday afternoon –
friends, chess partners, lovers
(I don’t think so),
conversationalists –
“Having sex or getting it, there’s
a
big
difference” –
and a “tall black,”
which is a beverage, not someone
lanky of
African descent.
muzak is available for
purchase
at
the
register,
with a
grande black, which is
another beverage,
not someone, well,
you get the
idea.
mcdonald’s sits across
the
way, embedded into
an office
building, sort of symbolically
so
(don’t
you
think?)
in the corner, under the
starbucks goddess sign,
sits a semi-attractive blonde,
nodding
to
a guy
who, quite frankly,
looks like
a
douchebag, and she talks,
does
all
the
talking, as a matter of fact, as though
there’s something really important
to
get out
and
over
before “desperate
housewives” airs.
land of the brie
and
the
home of the knave. (jk!)
BTW: starbucks
is hiring.
