This table is a gift that allows me a perch of an unobstructed view of everyone seated and the best acoustics to pinpoint exact conversations. Hey, don't judge me for saying that! I'm doing the judging. It's like an open forum, anyhow. This isn't a library where they require you to whisper. My point is that these conversations allow me to relate to other people because they demonstrate that we all have the same problems, hopes, and dreams.
Case in point. A woman can't decide what kind of dining room furniture she wants. She has been consumed by this for months! Her conversation showed me how consumed I am with my decisions on new furniture, too, and demonstrated how nauseating I have been. Like, really, who cares!
I mostly love this spot because I have the perfect vantage point to witness the conflict I can relate to. Conversations and coffee go hand in hand. It is the ideal mixture of cream, sugar, and chaos mixed all into one! All around me, people talk about life, love, and politics.
Hot, cold, frozen, espresso, cappuccino, dark, and hazel.
Damn, the things they can do with a coffee bean. Coffee has come a long way from watching my dad place ice cubes in his coffee and cool it down. I wonder if a person overheard that conversation I had with my dad with a child when I told him that was gross. My dad could have invented iced coffee!
Life has the same variety that coffee now offers. Life comes in the flavors of:
Love, hate, hope, prayer, work. Just to name a few.
Scientists can manipulate a coffee bean like a hydroponics lab! I wish life could be as simple as the choice between regular or decaf. Conversations float around in this place like the whipped cream bouncing around the inside of the plastic dome lid of my Frappuccino.
I am tired of all this coffee talk. This conversation is boring. So, let us move on from this subject and turn to more pressing issues. I think we should make the world a better place and agree through our following conversation should be about how the Boston Cream is a pretty damn good donut. Maybe the best donut of all. Now, that's a conversation I want to participate in.
This table at my favorite coffee house has the best spot for me to listen to conversations. You can say, "Well, that is eavesdropping! But in all fairness, people aren't precisely whispering their highly sensitive secrets over a latte!
