Cafe

fishing for comets would be killer mood music in a coffee shop. I'm lounging on a sofa and doing some assignments, and beth orton's singing in my ears.
I'm people watching and that's always tough.
i see the cutest old couple. My god they are adorable, walking in hand in hand. They grab a seat at a table just in front of me. I can't get over the peaceful routine this is for them. I know they are content, but they say nothing to each other really. i wonder if they are retired, how long they have been married. It kills me to think how it must be adjusting in this fast moving environment, everyone is "go go go" and they just move slow and steady. I also think it's weird hearing modest mouse blaring in the background and they have no clue who that is, or why kids these days pierce and paint all over there bodies. I wonder if they feel like the world is moving past them, or if they are just watching all these crazy changes and giggle in side.
I'm scared to be them. I'm afraid of getting old, but know it will happen and just hope i'll have someone to do it with. so we can just sit, be slow, and laugh at all the people speeding past us.
