dear pickwick,

why couldn't you have been more?
why couldn't you have hula dancers or a ball pit?
your sign and location had grabbed my heart on every commute
i thought you'd be perfect!

i expected you to be the same as i expected all my other dreams
incredible, exciting, fruitful, full of laughter
but you were only filled with a few old regulars

did i ask too much?
grand thoughts and daydreams so often fail..
but maybe if only you had been flawless
those vast visions of graduer would all have taken root
