the coffee is getting cold
the bell on the front door
a constant jingle
passerby in then another out
watching the street
the cars
the people
moving along
sitting and waiting
in this seat for five years
faces look familiar
but we haven’t met
everyday
unknown
those coming and going
in life
tomorrow is only a few hours away

I love this poem! Many people can relate to this. So many people we see-all with their own stories carried with them, wishing to share or not, coffee cold or hot… I am tempted to use all the emoticons but will refrain 😁
Haha! I am so glad you could relate! Thanks for reading 😊
