COFFEE ROOM

Here, to this mixing bowl

Of lonely moods

And condensed knowledge-

To this monochrome odd mixture

And a dash of multi-chromatic creativity

Some, and a selected people come-

Behind placid visages

Tightly constrained smiles

Ready to burst loose-

In this chatty chat quietude

Humanity on brink of discovery, discovering

And never discovering-

Stouts hearts in creative minds

Brooding in quiet intensity

Firmly gripping white china’s of dark brews-

To this coffee room

They return time and again

Replenishing knowledge from a tankard brewed-

Diffusion, exclusivity and inclusively

Shades of opinions, colours and emotions

With one purpose – to” fika”-
