Experiments in Melancholia at the Area Grocer

I find myself spending more and more time at the cafeteria seating...

that has been springing up around many of the area grocers....

there is something lonely about this activity, though I am unsure if
the loneliness is inherent or...

if it calls back memories of Department store cafeteria dining with my grandmother when I was a child and the way that sadness seems to cling to the passage of time.
