tim's coffee
is right next to the drugstore.
the scent of vanilla entered my nose
 the coffee grounds smelled earthly
the quaint chatter of people filled the room,
and i was anxious. on urge. scared
everyone seemed to be in their own worlds.
they looked at me,
i got scared,
they looked away,
i wanted them to look again. 

while i was waiting for grandma,
i saw you. in person.
my legs didn't know how to move,
my mouth didn't know how to speak,
so i placed my hand on your shoulder,
without thinking
it was supposed to be a quick tap,
but once my fingers and palm touched your shoulder,
i felt a sudden shock jolt throughout me-
you were fucking freezing.
solid. 
i wasn't the only one who had turned into stone. 
in fact i turned you into stone.

 in fact i turned you into stone
