If The World Stops While Having Coffee
“I felt a lurch.”
“I think it’s stopped.”
“All that spinning. What did it come to?”
“To leave or not, that is the question.”
“What if we need oxygen? Have you any squirreled away?”
“I confess I don’t.”
“What do you think? Should we blow this pop stand?”
“I always loved that expression. Now we’re saying the world is a pop stand.”
“Is that a yes?”
“I’d like to finish my coffee first.”
“Remember loose change? I still have a quarter. How about heads, we leave?”
“Who carries oxygen?”
“Amazon, no doubt.”
“Go ahead. Flip it.”
“Here we go!”
“Maybe!”
