“So” Janet Kuypers 7/19/10 so the hotel I was in didn’t have a continental breakfast so i looked for a diner for a bagel for breakfast so i pulled into some dive and i just sat there i kept my head down i don’t like looking at strangers so i kept my head down looking at my writings and i didn’t even notice my head was buried in my words but the lady walked over and dropped the bomb of liquid into the coffee cup into my upturned glass i watched this black mass sloshing around, contained but violent as she walked away i don’t like coffee, you see and i could have stopped her said no thanks but this was my fault as much as it was hers so there i was staring at this coffee that i don’t even like so i’ve got this bailey’s flask in my pocket i guess that tells you something about me but if i’m going to have coffee i’ll sweeten it with anything so my eyes dart right, then left then right again make sure no one’s watching me so i open the flask under the table then slowly drizzle in the creme i watch it form a mushroom cloud from within that contained bomb i try to remember where i am where i’ve been i didn’t know that on the other side of the country you just died i just looked at my coffee that i don’t even like and wondered if i should drink Copyright © 2010 Janet Kuypers.
