Jackson’s Coffee Shack has bad coffee
but it’s in a good spot.
The “superhero capital of New York,”
just about all of their flight paths
cross over the street
directly in front of the shop.
People come for the view
of strange spandexed individuals
bounding over the neighboring buildings.
Jackson’s thought about franchising,
but why bother?
No spot was better,
and no other spot
would be worth it.

Watson’s Coffee House
had good coffee
but no superheroes
flying over its spot.
It’s closed now.
