"Bubble
Gum Rapping With Linda At Starbocks"
I was
sitting across from a cute blond at Starbocks.
Told
her I hated getting up in the dark morning on winter days.
We
both agreed that winter was a bad time of the year because it got darker
earlier at night, and the sun didn't come out until later in the morning,
making it harder to rise from bed.
I
told her that spring and fall were my two best seasons. She told me spring was her best.
I got
up for my second cup of iced green tea and sat back down with her. I told her my name was Jon and gave her
one of my cards. Told her I liked
writing poetry. Linda responded
that she looked forward to reading some of my poetry, and introduced herself by
shaking my hand. She went to talk
to somebody, and left.
I
went for a third cup of ice tea.
Chriss, my Starbock's barista, told me to go out and do a rain dance for
the inclement condition. I walked
outside and performed a sun dance.
I
told the guy at Starbocks that I knew that he and the people who work there
have been swiping my cards in the machine and robbing me of all my money.
Some
guy came in tonight and said working at Starbocks was out of the question. The turn over rate was much to
high. Not as high as the turn over
rate at the cemeteries, I replied.
So
Linda, if you read this, try to reply without any English accent. I'd be troubled if you wouldn't because
I sound like I speak with an accent myself.
