PROJECT chicaGO: Intelligentsia Coffee Millennium Park Coffeebar
Photo Essay & Collaborative poem ft. Brontë Mansfield
Early morning, Randolph
Clink clink, coffee cups
The L clunks
down the block
Men in suits, briefcases
Students with bags for eyes
The 7 a.m. regulars
A coffee to-go
Croissant flakes over an empty stomach
breakfast at tiffany’s type
Crowd
in the Loop
but out of body
until the caffeine pulls
you down
punches you up
and spits you
back out
the revolving door
You push back in
swinging in full circle
for 3pm
pick-me-up
with weary legs
Eyes searching,
empty seats,
caught by
popping colors
— mugs and hats,
logos and charms
And new art on
display
LOVE &
“B” LOVED
waiting in line,
waiting,
waiting…
Love &
waiting
“B” LOVED
waiting
Love & “B” LOVED
waiting &
a coffee to-stay
