Stormy Coffee With Steinbeck

Published on 13 September 2023 at 13:56

I'm sitting at a cafe.

Located in the great ol' Altadena Mountains. 

Coffee and Milk; cafe au lait.

A lady reads Joan Didion across my periphery, it is a book I know I have on my bookshelf.

I feel guilty for not reading Joan Didion yet. 

At least I have Steinbeck. 

On top of a white saucer, in a satisfying blue and white mug I love so dearly sits my own cafe au lait. 

An extra shot of espresso. 

It's hot and strong. 

Better than warm and milky. 

I believe there is nothing worse than a lukewarm milky cup of coffee.

A layer of marine sits above me

I have a dance morphing, 

stacking, 

tangling

in my head.

The song is "The Shining" my vision is a lady with her cup of coffee. 

....

mmm

Stormy Weather. 

Don't know don't know don't know 

where or where?

WONDERING if i'll ever be able to relate to Etta James. 

I sip 

I think

I feel

I am beginning to ingest the equilibrium.
