playing solitaire while waiting for Shirley

i break out
a new
deck of cards as i sit
in the coffee
shop
waiting for Shirley
to show up
with so called big news.
she's always late.
i move the cup away
and my
scone
and lay out the cards for
a game
of solitaire.
someone walks by and tells
me,
that i don't need to do
that anymore.
you can play that game on
your laptop
or phone.
i look at the girl with
blue hair and say, 
yes, i know.
i sigh and put the cards
away,
i take a bite of my scone.
