Coffeehouse Writer

There's a boy in a coffeehouse booth

Who's determined to be Dostoevsky

Intently he writes golden words

Into a yellow legal pad

His gaze meets yours

And you realize he has eyes

Like an old man

But he's just a teen

Projecting his old soul

Through his words

But he's just a teen
Projecting his old soul
Through his words

Oh, you captured the boy, the man, the soul, beautifully with this.
