Thinking Outloud

[FlamingArrow]

Live life with no regrets
But what regret
Is bigger than life itself
The sun sets everyday
And rises every morning
Only to see that nothing has changed
Cup of coffee
Cream and sugar
To kill the bitterness
A smoke in hopes
To speed things up
..a bit
Take a drive
End in disappointment
You're ok
Kick back
Chit chat
Riff raff
Bull shit
So where's this soul
Why can't I see what makes me move
When I hear this drum beat
This strumming
...It's not in the coffee

If not "in" the coffee, maybe it is the coffee, ..."bitterness" and all?

Ooohhhh is that interesting...perhaps the coffee culture IS an expression of identification with the bitterness in life.

I just love the rolling scene at the beginning of Weeds when they play Melvina Reynold's Little Boxes song with the professionals all in their suits and ties marching into and out of coffee shops to get their daily dose of bitterness all wrapped up pretty and nice in a little cup, like all the other little cups people carry around with them, all full o' bitterness.

hmmmmm....LOL

I just don't think there are THAT many bitter people out there...are there?

Nice observation, Sharpie.

...I just don't think there are THAT many bitter people out there...are there?

They do seem plentiful.

Speaking for myself, there have been times, black-suited and all tied-up in formality, in which I couldn't help but see myself as the bitterest of penguins among the soaring birds of prey. *lol*

That paints a vivid picture. I work in a penguin factory (investment bank) and fortunately, with the changing times, it is loosening up a bit, not as formal as it used to be.

I get a sunset at the end of each day, so that's worth it!
