Starbucks

People are here together, yet alone. They are sitting together but they're not present. The Internet connection instead of the human connection. Didn't you both come here to get out of the house, be around people? I'm perplexed by the "surrounded by people but still all alone" paradigm. Trippy. Is anyone ever present in the moment anymore? No wonder people seem so sad and alone, if only they'd look up from they're device they'd see they weren't really, they only perceived themselves to be. Or maybe I have it wrong and there is just a massive volume of homework done at your local Starbucks. Social anthropology is fascinating, and a part of me wonders if anyone else here is pondering the imponderable, going through some existential crisis. Or maybe it's just my imagination, running away with me or some other 70's song lyric.
