I found a new coffee shop today 
well, new to me at least;
parking was ample, sandwiches warm,
there’s even a few open outlets

bright open windows bookended
by walls of exposed, rough, red brick
giant monstera and pothos abound
grounded in the scent of deep comfort

I write this review with the thought of you
how we will never visit together
because I see the value 
in places like these and in people like me

but you’d never give up your Starbucks.
