Today I really just wanted to get this done. I wasn’t going for awesome, I was just going for finished.

I picked a straight forward form, Tri-Cubes, to noodle with. The tri-cube is a three stanza poem with three lines per stanza and three syllables per line.

So here’s what I came up with:

Coffee shop

I see you
sitting there
drinking tea.

Steam rises
from the cup
as you read,

and it’s like
you don’t know
I exist.

Sometimes when I’m standing in Starbucks waiting for coffee I look around and see all sorts of interesting people doing interesting things. Sometimes I imagine interactions that “could be”… this was one of them.

Cheers!
