It was basically the worst peep show of all time.
Coming back repeatedly just to see
the same barista–
I was spending all my hard earned cash to catch a glimpse
of some bare wrist, or naked nape, possibly even some upper thigh
in exchange for expensive coffee and mediocre cuisine–
a brief show that ended
almost as soon as I received my change,
my signal to give up my place in line.
