modalities

counting people again. i find it
comforting--math
makes sense.

coffee shop this morning has
25 patrons total.

subsets (non-exclusive):

16 laptops
8 with paper and pen
4 in conversation (2 and 2)
3 just sitting (1 and 1 and 1)

and over by the window
a young woman
numberless
with a slice of morning glory loaf
a mug of tea
and a book.
