drifting back a second

 

When writing first began

It was coffee shops and a backpack

Always in my car so I could stop there anytime

You could smoke in the restaurants then

Not that long ago really

but nothing ever stays the same.

I remember rainy nights before cell phones

And Wi-Fi and the internet as we know it today

My car a backpack filled with empty books my mind was filling

Sometimes friends would meet me there

Most likely out last them with the bottomless coffee back then

So many personalities congregated at that sometimes-lonely coffee shop
