Regular
The bourgeois coffee house culture of West Los Angeles,
Collections of late homosexual men in
blazers and canvas hats,
Solo young maybe post-community college
ladies gaze lovingly at powerbook
romance,
Badg’d corporation organ banks face
to face over coffee.
The intentionally jobless somehow the
young wealth, the forced eccentric
who believes the help are enthusiastic
to suffer his quirks.
Hilighters, sunglasses folded on t-shirt collars, two
books one bound press’d one folded open
astride it, hand on temple
and eyes squinting to yours.
