And thinking with each mouthful, Or so it appears, seated as they are At the coffee shop counter, biting Into thick sandwiches, chewing And deliberating carefully before taking Another small sip of their sodas. The gray-haired counterman Taking an order has stopped to think With a pencil paused over his pad, The fellow in a blue baseball cap And the woman wearing dark glasses Are both pondering some difficult question As they stir and stir their coffees. If they should look up, they may see Socrates bending over the grill In a stained white apron and a hat Made out of yesterday’s newspapers. Tossing an omelet philosophically, In a small frying pan blackened with fire. |
