POETRY
Café Couch
A poem by Dash MacIntyre
Café Couch
I’m sitting on a comfy little sofa in a café
with a fresh cup of coffee and a book of essays
on various interesting artistic subjects I’ve never looked into
what a pleasant summer morning I’m having here in chicago
with my article for the day already done
and free time to read with no deadline helmets on my head
and yet my thoughts are bogged still in the latest climate report
and its damning and pessimistic apocalyptic predictions
with references to the fires in Spain and Greece and California
and really everywhere this summer
and I find it surreal like time melting desert clocks
how plugged into the doom and gloom I am
and I decide I must stoically rally myself to maybe picking just one
between whether the world is ending or I am having a lovely day.
