two young men
breakfasting at chick-fil-a
hard not to eavesdrop 🦊❤️
I heard that Chick-fil-a had great coffee so I went there very early to give it a try. The restaurant was empty, there was nice soft music playing and I thought, “Ahhhh this is nice!” It was then that two young men sat in the booth immediately next to me. “All these empty seats and you have to sit there?” I thought. They talked and talked, but at a volume that I could not follow their conversation. I soon became impressed with their level of engagement with each other and the attentive listening that they exhibited. I sipped my excellent cup of coffee and thought how refreshing it was to see two young people actually having a face to face conversation. When they got up to leave, they meticulously picked up all of the wrappers and even small bits of debris from their table. I sat there for a few moments after they left and thought about the movie “Paterson” where the main character, a bus driver in Paterson NJ would become fascinated with the conversations that went on between passengers. If you haven’t seen the movie - look it up. You’ll see what I mean. 🦊❤️
