WHERE: kaffeine WHEN: monday, noon WHO: anyone & everyone

rarely does noah get to spread her wings outside of astoria for the lunch hour.  such is the effect of an open door policy -- she requests trust from her students, offers availability and loyalty in return for the long, ticking hours between classes under her guidance and meetings where she sits silently.  how funny, to be more comfortable with those she teaches than her coworkers and peers.  is it the hunger for learning?  that so many students are also new, and anxious under their skin?

she understands that.  eleven months and she still barely found her way to kaffeine, bag heavy on her shoulder and a thin sheen of sweat across the back of her neck as noah finally slips into line.  shifts the book bag from left to right.  sighs.  then orders as she reaches the front -- chai tea, the peach grilled cheese.  oh sorry, yeah it’s for here -- before shuffling towards the nearest open table.  

binders are pried from her bag as soon as she lets it settle onto the ground.  a supplementary for the old books, the beautiful things that noah cannot hold for more than minutes let alone bring with her.  the local museum, who’s name she can’t fully recall was kind enough to offer her photographs of each and every page in their collection.  noah took the time to compile them, print them, and now carries them in these binders labeled with shorthand that no doubt reads as nonsense to anyone else.  

maybe it will keep her alone through lunch.  the thought makes noah pause, her jaw work, uncertain if that’s the result that she can’t decide if she wants or not.  it is the busy hour, though.  tables never stay empty for long -- even if strangers have to couple together.
