taipei cafe

the cat was crouching on the italian coffee maker
staying warm

he glides to and fro the coffee cups
the giant stuffed animal boars
and the heartbroken

if only he could talk
imagine the stories he would mew out

but then again
he would be to proud to say anything to any of us

so apparently
a charlie brown is espresso with hot chocolate

my body shakes and quivers from caffeine but i love it anyway

i curl into a sofa seat and sip and soak in the music
and i see the owner of the coffee shop for the first time

time has etched deep lines into her proud face
she dangles a cigarette and cocks an eyebrow at me
she knows i'm looking

fuck the law

she lights it and inhales
