Gravity
It's been a sad sort of day... no, not sad.. not necessarily at least. More like reflective.
I decided to have lunch on my own at this amazing coffee shop, T2F (www.t2f.biz)
I had been there the night before and had some leftovers from the dinner I had there. I took the same leftovers there today and had them reheat it for me along with a coffee that I ordered (they did it gladly btw). I sat there and had my half-a-sandwich and coffee and just... thought.
I soaked in the environment (which reminds me of quaint hippie coffee shops back home) and thought about the matters troubling my mind. I did so while listening to some of the more somber works of Coldplay. The urge for a cigarette hit me, as it often does in these moods (particularly where coffee is involved), and I went out to the balcony where I asked the people out there for a cig. This young woman (who also works there) very happily obliged.. as in left her seat, went to the back room where her cigs were and gave me a Marlboro Red, a lighter, and a beautifully generous smile.
I thanked as her profulesly as was socially acceptable at the time.
I stood in the corner smoking my gift, listening to the song Gravity on repeat. I let the lyrics sink in.. deeper and deeper each time. I looked out the balcony at the different people on the street. The man at the store front looking for customers. The laborers and guards crouching on the sidewalk smoking cigarettes. The pretty girl trying to get into a building that had its shutters closed. The man in the middle of the street who seemed to be waiting for someone.. or something.
I left T2F..feeling much the same way that I came in, but thinking about those feelings in a different... oh what the hell, a better way.
I got in my car, with half a smile on my face, and thought,
"Well how about that."
