Home / Cafe Culture / Sans Caffeineby Lee Evans All I do is sit with my head in my hands, unable to think. And I stare out the window at myself, as I squat on the curb like a blind beggar, holding out my empty cup to the agitated passers-by: those who have had their fix of morning coffee. I keep falling asleep in the middle of my work, with fitful dreams that are not Wish-fulfilling Gems. How many days will I languish here, like a marionette hung up by its strings in the dead master’s attic? Perhaps the wind will blow in through these shattered glass panes-- enough to make me dance and swing in mid-air; enough to dispel these wistful and abortive dreams. |
