breakfast time in silicon valley
that magic hour when, in any coffee shop or creperie
you will hear several someones talking
a little too loud, a little too fast
straining to reach the end of the pitch
before the check comes
catching stray fragments suddenly bouncing
out of a conversation, it sounds like this:
... prove the value proposition
... distributed development
... identify strategic partners
... that is an excellent question
... features to differentiate from the free product
if you don't live here, this seems like a horrible
desecration of the peaceful breakfast temple
to us, this is just our version
of an anyday, somewhere in the midwest
two guys with weathered faces
rolled up ball caps and blue jeans
cuppa at the counter talking about the weather
before they head out to take care of the crops
