Golden Phrases and the Cosmic Grammarians

“He’s ready for a relationship – and you are a sinking ship.” I try not to laugh as I transcribe the words into my Moleskin. I don’t want the woman who said them or her friend to know I’m listening – even though what I’m doing can hardly be considered eavesdropping. I’m just sitting here, sipping my overpriced coffee and letting the world spin around me. They are the ones talking loudly enough for half the café to hear. But I don’t mind. Afterall, I come here every morning just to listen to people like them.
