Here I am again
Smoking my cigarettes too fast
With my coffee
(they're best friends)
The only thing that keeps me OK
These days
The comfort of them
Fight against
This highway
The stop lights
The people
This one road town
Makes me sick
But at least
I'll always have
My coffee and cigarettes
Don't forget about music
I'll get lost in it
Resurrecting
Memories
Of friends
Drinking
Better days
Don't pity me
(it's not my aim)
Just give me some company
On this lonely highway
That spells car accidents and death
But instead of conversation
I'll have my beautiful music
My coffee and cigarettes.
Author notes
though my storry isn't the most entertaining...it's a story.
My friends and I used to hang out at a place called Liquid Cafe' in downtown ft myers florida, it was very mellow, dim lights, great overpriced coffee and food, featured art work from local artists and the ocasional musician would play there. I was in love with the place, we would sit outside for hours on end enjoying eachothers company and the atmosphere, I don't live in ft myers anymore...I went back a couple weeks ago and suggested we go there for coffee and I was sadly informed that they had shut the place down...I'm not sure why, probably to make room for more bars and night clubs.
anywho, thats my story about my favorite cafe, I don't think there will ever be another one...the town I live in now doesn't have any coffee shops...and would never have one as unique as liquid.

I'm still considering this one; please add a coffee story to the author comment box (as per the contest note suggestion) that would be part of your bio; it can mention a favorite coffeehouse or not. Thanks for your patience and for letting me consider this. Please don't remove this from the contest.

This poem is interesting in that I hear a fresh voice and it reads like a song, it reads like the back of a book jacket. Great penning and very cool writing. Welcome to the contest! You have brought a lot to it and I honored to have your poem among us.
