Sitting here drinking my coffee with my beautiful wife, I watch the sunlight hit the books on the wall. The wonderfully brewed coffee steams through the haze of the sun. I contemplate borrowing one of the books on the wall, but they seem trapped unlike a library book that is free to roam. There are excellent people here. A gentleman sits reading a large book, larger than I've ever read. It's probably a Tolstoy book. He looks like he's been through a lot, like a fisherman on a large Alaskan troller. He's been wind tossed with 30 foot waves battering his beard. It's all but white now. A tall girl chats with her Asian boyfriend and then gets up to go to the restroom. As she passes I notice that she's a skinny man. A lady sneaks in to catch a breath from the cold that has arrived in Seattle. She seems to have slept on the street all day and needs to thaw her bones from the cold like the chicken you pull out from the freezer before dinner. She is immediately noticed and is kicked out for not buying a coffee. Another walks in, dressed like James Dean and sits down waiting for something. He pulls out his Iphone like a comb. He waits alone with no coffee. 12/26/11
