Hiding from the very thing I thought I wanted most
It feels safe here
A gentle escape from fame
My disguise working well
Even the guy at the Deli on the corner
Didn't pay me no mind
I asked for hazelnut instead of regular
It smells great but taste is often lacking
The story of my life wraps around coffee
I tried so hard to achieve greatness
Now hiding from the very thing I thought I wanted most
Everyone wants a piece of your privacy
Selling my soul for headlines was a mistake
I couldn't have known then, to busy with my arrogance
Shit, he put sugar in my coffee
Guess he saw I needed some sweetening up

I love "The story of my life wraps around coffee"
I liked all of it, but especially that.

I don't think I would be alone in that theory.

I like when you get philosophical, my Big Apple, in conveying the mundane things we do that pushes up through... a very nice mental tempo I can comprehend and relate too.

Fame definitely does people in.
My take is it's nice to be known but not necessarily famous.
You'll get good tables in restaurants and maybe sign one autograph but no infringement on your privacy.
I'm a lone rider at heart.

Well I like anything to do with coffee. I had to settle for hazelnut the other day because they didn't have dark. Run, run, run, but we can never run from ourselves.
Great ink, friend 😁

Hazelnut is too bitter
I keep it simple and sweet and light
Certainly not the story of my life

Isn't it funny how life turns out that way ?
Coffee is a great equalizer, gives one time to think and wonder.

I have recently come to appreciate 7-11's hazelnut. No sugar though. I'm sweet enough.
6th Dec 2022 2:23pm
You'd be surprised on hazelnut, some places you'd least expect it can pull it off
Indeed a sweet guy, all your women say that I'm sure !
Appreciate your visit

It's good to sit back and reflect PS. Coffee is a very useful metaphor. I once considered vodka to be the muse of contemplation, but it merely burnt the senses. Enjoyed. Much.
6th Dec 2022 5:46pm
Yes, I was a vodka man for many years. Lucky to be here actually, lots of great sexual adventures but lots of chaos and anarchy too !!
I sip less now but still enjoy the clear stuff.
Coffee is great anytime, actually makes me sleepy.
I'm an opposite of most people
Thx Rob

Dear PS,
Acknowledged . It’s nice to be acknowledged and then left alone. For me anyway. There is something very civilized being able to sit down with a cuppa and think your thoughts. I totally big dig this write. Great title. H🌷

Dear H,
What's in a title ?
Well everything in most cases ....
Privacy is a precious commodity where isolation is not wanted.
Just my take on the way of the world.
Thx for the visit Honoria

Writing about coffee is always a winner. The world is addicted to that jittery high. And to a man in a long black coat... Oh the mystery. This criminal mind stalking the darkness. Looking for a different kind of fame and that high. Everyone wants a piece... so true. NEVER put sugar in my coffee but I do love a good cappuccino. Flavored coffee, yuck. Even in the darkness and a long black coat, we see you standing over there in the underground... lurking... ;)
8th Dec 2022 3:36pm
I am always lurking.
I’m in your consciousness 24/8, no typo, you need an extra day for me !!!
Yes, I’m that intense.
Wait, maybe you’re your the intense one.
I need another cup… pronto
No fame for this stranger, just the quiet of your company and a jittery caffeine buzz
Appreciate your visit

Two wonderful things in life are privacy and coffee ☕️ Enjoying them both wearing black is an added bonus.
