just tell me if i should be worried about your drinking habit

today we sat at a coffee bar

they had many different kinds of beans

we sat at the corner table

we communicated through writing only

in the notebook you bought at safeway

we were there for an hour

maybe

you said you felt wired

you said you felt drunk

from the coffee, i guess

the beans were ground right in front of our faces

we walked around for three hours

trying to find pizza

i said 'damn' and 'jeez'

because of the heat, and because of the walk, and because last time i saw you

you were wearing the same shirt

we found tacos

i got coke in a bottle

it was refreshing and i wanted four more

we got more coffee

then you went to work

Patty Duke played Hellen Keller

in the movie Hellen Keller

"the greatest actress" said my sister

her eyes were closed

she put her hand to her chest

"The Greatest Actress Ever"
