odd little man saunters in
guitar in his hand
plugs and plays
giving strangers pause
computer screens fade
as does the barista
who reappears to join the man
together playing
his voice like the coffee they consume
warm and soothing
waking them from slumbers
and morning grind
ending as abruptly as it began
