Black Drop

It’s OK. Stay clam. We mean, calm. Happy as a clam, maybe. Relax. Imagine a steaming cup of delicious coffee in your hands. Imagine yourself sitting on the blue couch at The Black Drop and all of your troubles far away. The aroma of the fresh ground coffee and toasting bagels is in the air. Your favorite song that you swear no one every plays anywhere just started. You look around and think: “Wow! People are happy here and real and engaged and vibrant and creative and friendly and just letting everything just… be.” And you are no longer scared. And the world kind of curls up next to you like some sort of favorite animal, maybe a tiger or a dragon or a rabid squirrel that is, for the moment asleep and dreaming little squirrel dreams about eating your face later, but for now quietly purring beside you. But forget about that, just think about peace and how relaxed you are. There on the blue couch at The Black Drop, drinking great coffee, listening to your favorite song, surrounded by laughter. There is nothing to be afraid of anymore. Ah, sweet sweet coffee: nectar of the mind, restorer of the soul.
