Getting Coffee
March 28, 2012
Because when you were talking
when you were driving
it was there in your eyes,
your gestures
your nods
I saw a little boy
he wasn’t quite gone yet
he was surrounded in clothes, money, cars, girls,
but he was laughing inside
quite beautifully

Wow I really like this poem! It's beautiful, and I really like the way you begin the poem with "Because" - kind of like you're in the middle of a thought - it makes it personal! And I also really like the way you end it. So beautiful!! I don't know why, but this poem reminded me a little of the character Jay Gatsby XD

I really loved this piece! It was a really clear image to me and you really didn't have to say very much at all. :)

Oh my bad, I was totally off. Well it's a piece that holds ambiguous meaning, which is always interesting.

Yeah! I guess the title could be kind of confusing. It's about a boy I got coffee with and I could see a bit of innocence left in him. And I liked it, haha. Thanks for the comment :)

I like it, but I'm a little unsure about the meaning. So the speaker of this poem saw a guy that was still in some subtle way, a little boy on their way to get coffee? I hope I got it right~
