autumn eyes under crisp rain
two umbrellas bounce along city streets
under city trees, autumn on everything
as coffee swirls around scarves and wet curls
in the city
i catch faces across tables, in mirrors and windows,
autumn eyes on everyone
in the city
as coffee swirls
You know those rainy days of hanging out in a coffee shop reading a book, floating in and out of day dreams? Those are really good days. Those are quintessential Vancouver days. My new-old favourite spot to do this is Commercial Drive’s Cafe Deux Soleil. The open space cafe has tons of great seats and a large vegetarian menu with some tasty, affordable breakfast options.
The last few times I’ve been here, it’s been a minimum two hour stay. A good sign.
Try the everything omelette, and cozy up with a book or the paper and watch the beautiful characters of the city pass by.
