i was set / no point

I was set upon by a disenheartened
man who questioning my right
to coffee in peace ranted on

from a position of existential plight
his gnarled teeth stained from his words
or from smoking his youth away

male pattern baldness to a tee
for over an hour he spoke to me
providing little room edgewise

thinking his wisdom was so unique
the boutique of pretension
suspending his individualism

further widening his schism
with society the lack of variety
or nuance in his viewpoint

he rambled on and on with no point.
