There's A Starbucks

____________________________________________________________________________________

Where the Starbucks used to be...



There’s a stadium where
we used to drink at Freddy’s

For a team that no one likes
Or wants or needs

They revitalized the place
Now there’s a million
parking spaces

Maybe bedrooms for
the homeless refugees






There’s a chain store where
Mom & Pop once prospered

Now they’re divorced
And living in penury

Their kids grew up and moved away
I hear that happens anyway

But there’s a Starbucks where
they live, I guarantee

  1. The malls-as-cathedrals are being let to ruin
    like the cathedral-esque movie theaters
    of the thirties.

    Perhaps Starbucks will enter that history soon.
