Two blocks

I ended a loveless affair with Sandra the barista and have to buy my coffee two blocks further down each morning

We started the loveless affair in the summer and it is now winter

And now I have to buy my coffee two blocks further down

I should have started our loveless affair in winter and then it would be summer and I wouldn’t mind walking two blocks further down to get my coffee each morning

I could look at all the shop windows and all the young girls in summer dresses as I walked the two blocks further down

But its winter and the shop windows are dull and the young girls are dull in their long coats and woollen beanies and red noses

And I have to walk two blocks further down

And it’s all dull

And the coffee is dull

And the shop windows are dull

And the young girls are dull

And I have to walk two blocks further down

My new barista is named Kylie

And it is now winter

And the next coffee shop is a further two blocks down

Next summer I will have to walk four blocks further down each morning to get my coffee

But then I will have the windows and the summer dresses
