Ode to the Mercury Cafe...a poem

Ode to the Mercury Cafe
By Michelle R aka Naila Moon of the Grey Wolf

I have come to this
the Mercury Cafe,
to hear the likes
of John, Mary and Sue
or maybe Shakespear too.

I strain to listen
to those
on this stage
we could call
life.

The prose pours forth
ticking away
at time.
The words
of hapiness
heartbreak
confusion
and wonder.

These words
empower,
shape us
and have meaning.

In the listening
we become better people
and possibly
a hope
for another.
