what if you took the long way down
to your favorite cafe on the east side of town?
and you got stuck at the light
so you turn down a side street
but you couldn't drive down 'cause it's a saturday swap meet
so you get out of your car
and you walk through the crowd
you bargain for a teapot in the shape of an owl
so you walk and you walk and you walk to the coffee shop
but you take the empty seat next to the cute guy
what if he smiled when you asked for the time?
