they are here
the short-hairs
the long-hairs
sipping the caffeine
the incredible
poetic bean
keeps you up
at 3 AM
reciting poetry
reading good books
George Orwell
Emile Dickinson
Whitman &
Robert Frost
taking a college visit
listening to the poets
at green grass
graduate trim lawns
schools
professors with elbow patches
screaming the name of Robert Frost
high on caffeine
so much confidence
in the mean bean
some take tea
also at 3
like a scenario
from Mick Jagger's song
and the short-hairs
and the long-hairs
getting along
puffing herbal cigars
at the herbal bookstore
coffee house of love
caffeine
and a dove
