Three Sisters Cafe

Sipping a coffee milkshake
oh gosh, I love the USA.
Med. students sitting next to me
dissecting their textbooks.
Providence, RI, early autumn, yet it feels like spring.
Three Sisters Cafe
Hank Williams rasping though the speakers.
What is it about a space that makes you feel welcome?
a worn wood floor
a friendly smile
a chalkboard with artistic letters (the kind I can never draw)
tastes of ice cream on little wooden spoons.
A man orders in Spanish-He asks for "Fresa," Strawberry.
He leaves with Chocolate.
He is all smiles as he walks out the door.
