don't look back

don't look
back, or forward,
but live
in the moment
your guru,
the young
barista with
rings in his
nose and ears
tells you as he
hands you
your four dollar
cup of coffee
and you nod
and say, sure,
whatever and go
off towards
the station
to doctor it
up properly,
and you ponder
what he has told
you, but you do
look back, and
yell at him,
hey, you're out
of half and
half again.
what's up with
that?
