counterpart alone to stare at her cup.

Watching the younger woman leave draws
my attention to a table near the door with two teen-
age gitls. While one checks a scratch on her hand,
most likely from a cat or animal, the other hesitates
with multiple “umms” before getting her thought
out. My coffee shop experience has transported
from grizzly bears to crows and now to teenage
wasteland. One wonders what could concern this
girl so utterly. Wait now, shouldn’t these girls be in
school? It is almost 10 in the morninvg. Was Chem-
istry 11 too much today? Or am I belittling the situ-
ation?
