Enthralled with her new HP laptop she purchased off the Internet and delivered today, Elizabeth, not wanting to open it at home immediately rushed to her local coffeehouse, a coffeehouse that offered free wireless and didn’t require you to make a minimum purchase, A coffeehouse where fellow non-published writers went to discuss the latest books they were reading or to use and abuse the free wireless to do research for either the novel they were writing or to stay on top of their emails.

Before today, Elizabeth didn’t own a laptop computer, but she was a writer and thought by hanging out at her local coffeehouse with only a notepad and pencil and converse with her writers would inspire her to one day finish her collection of poetic short stories. But, observing, as all good writers do, that she was the only one without a laptop made her feel inadequate, made her feel poor, which she was, dirt poor. Not having a laptop made her feel left behind in this world of electronic materialism. A far cry from where she grew up.  Elizabeth’s homeland is Africa, an by the time she was 15 she was already living on the streets there, surviving on the tips she earned every day doing slam poetry anywhere she could; next to bus stops, in front of Top Cape Town Hotels , at storefronts, anywhere that wouldn’t kick her out right away. It was her love for the written word that got her to the States. Over a year ago, a professor of English was travelling through the Southern Tip of Africa and was so impressed with her vast vocabulary and her poetic style that he sponsored her application for a student visa. He didn’t offer her much more than that really. So, she’s pretty much been on her own here in the States, working here at this very coffeehouse as a barista.
She still earns tips doing her slam poety on open mic nite, enough to purchase a used laptop; one that she has just openend and turned on and began her new journey into the world where she now sees herself as one of the moderns. Penniless, but satisfied.
