Solitude Cafe

Dean Martin wants to know,
“Ain’t that a kick in the head?”
Love – it makes you wonder…

Sam Cooke declares
What a wonderful world it would be
If you loved me, too.

They both have a point.

And Marvin Gaye
Has heard it through the grapevine
That she was with someone else
While Carole King is wistful
Because no one stays
In one place anymore

Love can go both ways.
It’s good at that.
While I am only one-dimensional.
Coffee and books in Solitude Café for me
And love songs, written and interpreted
With such insight.
These comprise my world
On a Sunday afternoon.
